We want to use our twenty-four-month engagement to prepare the company for our exit. How do we design the Accountability Chart specifically to make the business highly attractive to buyers, and how does your exit-planning expertise guide this structure?

Question

Tyler Smith · Accepted Answer

A major focus of our twenty-four month engagement is preparing your business for a clean, highly profitable exit. To do this, we must build a company that runs without you. This requires us to design your Accountability Chart with the ultimate buyer in mind, ensuring that every seat is filled by someone who truly gets, wants, and has the capacity to do the job.

During our session days, we will focus on moving you out of the day-to-day operations. If you are currently the Visionary and also acting as the Integrator or head of sales, we will create a clear transition plan. We will identify the gaps in your leadership team and use the GWC™ tool to hire or promote people into those key seats.

Buyers do not want to acquire a business that relies on the owner for daily survival. They want a self-sustaining machine. By implementing EOS® and driving high execution discipline, we build a track record of hitting our quarterly Rocks and maintaining a clean weekly Scorecard.

As an operator and investor, I help you see your Accountability Chart through the eyes of an acquisition target. We will use our quarterly sessions to ensure that your leadership team can run the business independently. When a buyer looks at your organization, they will see a strong, aligned team that does not need you to stick around after the transition.
