I engaged the service of Guardian Due Diligence when working on the acquisition of a recycling business in the U.A.E. The QoE process Elliott spearheaded made me ponder deeply on questions I might have glossed over and also brought out unique insights on the business. Elliott was very hands on through out the entire process and I appreciated his candor when providing his thoughts on the business.

I engaged Elliott to conduct a Quality of Earnings for a unique deal marked by a recent owner transition. Unfortunately, the new owner faced an urgent need to sell the business due to medical reasons shortly after acquisition, introducing significant complexity to our due diligence process. Limited access to critical information from the previous seller further compounded the challenge. What distinguished Elliott in this engagement was his ability to navigate and adapt to these constraints. He demonstrated exceptional problem-solving skills, creatively bridging gaps in our data. His guidance and critical thinking instilled a high level of confidence in me in pursuing this deal.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Elliott on a Quality of Earnings (QoE) report for an acquisition we closed in 2021. Elliott's expertise and dedication to the project were instrumental in providing the necessary insights to complete the deal successfully. The QoE report delivered by Elliott not only provided proof of cash and a comprehensive trailing twelve-month balance sheet but also assisted us in creating the documents required for SBA approval. His work went beyond our expectations and his in-depth analysis made a significant impact on our decision-making process. One of the best aspects of Elliott's service was his hands-on approach and his willingness to share insights beyond the financial aspects of the deal. He was always available to provide valuable advice and his attention to detail was unmatched. Over the course of the project, we even became friends, which speaks to the strong working relationship we developed. Elliott's experience and guidance were essential in navigating the complexities of the acquisition. He went beyond simply providing a QoE, offering his extensive knowledge to help us handle the ups and downs of the deal. His advice not only gave us the confidence in where to push back, but also how to push back effectively. Working with Elliott was an exceptional experience. His expertise, dedication, and personalized service were invaluable throughout the entire process. We wholeheartedly recommend Elliott to anyone in need of a QoE report or financial consultation for an acquisition.

True. @ElliottEHolland helped us with a small add on and not only determined EBITDA was $0 vs the $800k reported, but actively recommended against the deal. Exemplary work and why he’s our trusted partner twitter.com/ElliottEHolland/status/1615379051882889217

@darrionweems Greatest. Testimonial. Ever. And @darrionweems I worked harder on your deal than any deal since Guardian started. And I loved doing that hard work. I am beyond confident you will win. You have the right demeanor for this game. 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
