What Is a QoE Report?

A Quality of Earnings (QoE) report is a detailed financial analysis that goes far beyond standard audited financials. While audits validate compliance, QoE reports focus on the true earning power of a business.

Whether you’re a buyer, investor or founder, our quality of earnings services are designed to uncover normalized earnings, identify risk areas, and present a clear, adjusted picture of financial health.

Unlike traditional internal audit quality and earnings management reviews, QoE assessments provide transaction-level clarity to support high-stakes decisions.

Our QoE Process

As one of the most responsive and detail-oriented quality of earnings providers, Apex applies a proven methodology tailored for high-growth companies:

• Normalized Earnings: Strip out one-off events and non-recurring revenue or costs.
  
• Revenue & EBITDA Adjustments: Clarify margins and recurring profitability.
  
• Working Capital Analysis: Ensure sufficient short-term liquidity.
  
• Forecast Reliability: Evaluate how historical data supports future projections.

Our approach reduces the risks associated with audit quality and earnings management discrepancies, giving you confidence to act.
