About QoEPro

QoEPro is a buy-side Quality of Earnings report service built for lower middle market M&A transactions. We deliver institutional-grade financial diligence to independent searchers, ETA buyers, fundless sponsors, and private equity professionals who need clarity before they close.

Built by Practitioners

QoEPro is a service of Lilac Street Capital LLC, an M&A transaction advisory practice based in Austin, Texas. Every engagement is authored by a CFA charterholder with live deal experience in lower middle market transactions — not staffed to a junior analyst.

Why We Built This

Quality of Earnings analysis has historically been the domain of larger transactions with seven-figure advisory budgets. A $3M EBITDA acquisition — exactly the kind of deal ETA searchers and independent sponsors are doing every day — rarely received the same level of independent financial scrutiny. QoEPro changes that. We bring institutional rigor to Main Street transactions at a price point that makes sense for the deal size.

Our Focus

We work primarily with buyers — independent searchers, ETA entrepreneurs, fundless sponsors, and PE-backed acquirers evaluating lower middle market targets. We also accept sell-side engagements for owners preparing their businesses for a competitive sale process.
