Keep the fee. Skip the work.
An advisor has two bad options. Outsource the valuation and hand a share of every fee to a third party, or build it in-house and spend 20 to 40 analyst hours per engagement. DealGauge is the third option: the whole engagement produced in-house, without the in-house hours.

The shift
From raw financials to the deliverable set, DealGauge takes on the production work so you can spend the engagement on judgment.
Most valuation professionals do not spend most of their time valuing businesses.
They spend it spreading financials in Excel, reading financial statements line by line, identifying what changed, determining what questions to ask, building models, writing reports, and assembling client deliverables.
Before meaningful valuation work can begin, hours are often spent organizing information, investigating changes, and preparing analysis.
DealGauge extracts the financials, reads what changed in the business, surfaces the likely drivers and the questions worth asking, then produces the deliverables from one workflow. You review every step, and the judgment and the signature stay with you.
How it works
From financial documents to a defensible draft in four steps.
DealGauge handles the production work while your team focuses on valuation work.
Upload Financial Documents
Upload tax returns, financial statements, QuickBooks exports, balance sheets and P&Ls. DealGauge extracts and organizes the financials.
Review Financials, Key Drivers & Assumptions
Review extracted financials, identified drivers, and assumptions. Apply professional judgment to adjustments and inputs.
Run the valuation.
The market approach drives the number: the observed multiple range for the sector, the sources and observation period behind it, and where the selected multiple sits in that range, with the reasoning. At Enterprise, the DCF is available as a custom build configured to the engagement.
Generate the deliverable set.
The Valuation Report, the Snapshot Valuation Report and the One Pager, plus the editable model, from one workflow. A defensible draft you review and sign. The signature block stays empty until you fill it.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
What can I upload?
Tax returns, financial statements, QuickBooks exports, balance sheets and P&Ls. DealGauge extracts and organizes the financials from them.
How long does it take?
Upload the financials and the first read on what changed comes back in seconds. How long the full engagement takes after that depends on the file and on your review, because that part stays with you.
What deliverables do I get?
The Valuation Report, the Snapshot Valuation Report and the One Pager, plus a fully editable model, produced from one workflow as a defensible draft you review and sign.
Who signs the valuation?
Your name goes on it, so you sign it. DealGauge hands you a defensible draft, you review it and apply your judgment, and the signature block stays empty until you fill it.
What happens on a walkthrough?
Bring a valuation you're working on this month, or use our sample file if you'd rather not upload yet. We run DealGauge on it with you, and you judge the output against work you already know.
How does the free credit work?
Every signup includes one free valuation credit. No credit card, and the credit doesn't expire. Run one valuation on it and see the output before you decide.
Do unused valuations roll over?
No. Each seat's monthly allowance is pooled across your team, and unused valuations don't carry into the next month.
Is there annual billing?
Yes. Annual billing saves 25 percent against the monthly rate and is shown as the discounted monthly price. Monthly billing stays available at the standard rate.
