Financial Due Diligence
with booq

You have been invited to share financial information as part of an FDD process.

booq is the platform used by the M&A team to securely collect and analyse your company's financial data.

WHAT IS

booq is a Financial Due Diligence platform used by professionals to collect and analyse the financial data of companies involved in M&A transactions. Rather than exchanging data manually through spreadsheets and exports, booq creates a dataset directly from your accounting software, retrieving the information needed, saving significant time for both sides and eliminating the risk of errors or incomplete data sets.

01
A structured dataset
Rather than exporting spreadsheets, booq generates a structured dataset directly from your accounting software โ€” no manual exports or reformatting required from your side.
02
Takes a couple of minutes
Most companies spend days fielding data requests during due diligence. booq replaces all of that with a couple of minutes on your end.
03
Keeps you in control
booq retrieves a read-only, one-time static copy of your accounting data. It cannot make changes, initiate transactions, or refresh data without your explicit consent.
What you're asked to do
