Field services

Field-services roll-ups are determined in the back office. Exbo supports the full arc from diligence to finance transformation, so every acquired branch ends up on one clean, centralized reporting basis.

Our expertise

How roll-up value gets built and proven

In a field-services roll-up, the investment thesis is the more straightforward element. The back office is where the difficulty lies.

Fragmentation, recurring revenue, and multiple arbitrage underpin the model. Integration is what realizes its value, and from day one that is a finance, data, and systems undertaking.

Exbo begins in diligence, restating each target to GAAP at the transaction level and producing a databook built account by account. The same team then carries that databook into finance transformation, historical clean-up, chart-of-accounts standardization, and system migration.

Crew labor & job margin

Field margin is won and lost at the job level. We model crew labor, utilization, and materials against each job, so branch performance is visible.

Multi-branch consolidation

Every acquired branch arrives with its own books and chart of accounts. We standardize and consolidate them, so the platform reports on a single basis.

Service contract revenue

Maintenance plans and service agreements bill ahead of the work performed. We handle the deferred revenue behind recurring contracts, so the recurring base is real.

Working capital & cash conversion

Growth in field services consumes cash before it produces it. We track working capital and cash conversion, so the platform can fund its own add-ons.

The full-lifecycle advantage

One team owns the work from the first diligence call through a fully integrated finance function, so nothing is lost in the handoff between deal and operations.

Diligence

Transaction-level quality of earnings on the platform and every add-on, restated to GAAP and captured in a reusable databook.

Remediation

The databook drives historical clean-up and a single standardized chart of accounts.

Migration

Each branch moves onto one centralized system, such as NetSuite, QBO, or Sage.

Run

Automated close and reporting, with consistent, investor-grade numbers across the whole platform.

We consolidate that into a single, clean set of books across the platform, so every add-on is integrated efficiently and the financials withstand the scrutiny of lenders, boards, and the next buyer.
