Who uses Verning for Quality of Earnings

We killed a bad deal in nine days instead of paying $45K for a QoE that would have told us the same thing. The workbook is the product — my lender opened it and didn't ask a single formatting question.

Traditional QoE charges for labor.
We charge for the work.

Most of a traditional engagement's cost is junior accountants manually reading, tying out, and reformatting financials — hour by hour. Verning collapses that layer entirely. You pay for the output, not the staffing pyramid behind it.

Thousands of pages. Zero manual tie-out.

Bank statements, P&Ls, tax returns — every line read and reconciled automatically. No oversight risk compounding across hundreds of pages. Nothing missed because someone was tired at hour six.

pages reconciled: 0
( fig.03 )✓ CPA-reviewed

A licensed accountant owns every reconciliation.

Cheaper doesn't mean unsupervised. Every output is reviewed by an in-house CPA-accredited accountant before it reaches you — named, licensed, accountable. Automation handles scale. The accountant handles judgment.
