We needed an independent valuation of our business and proprietary software technology.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

On our discovery call, their lead analyst reviewed our script breakdown tools and film carbon budgeting features. We then shared our profit and loss statements, subscriber retention data, and studio contract pipeline.Transaction Capital LLC built a discounted cash flow model and a software market comparison to price our property and shares. They delivered a 45-page certified valuation report signed by Dr. Gaurav (Founder & CEO) along with the working spreadsheets.

What is the team composition?

We worked with 2–5 teammates from Transaction Capital LLC.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

Transaction Capital LLC's signed report let us finalize our US intercompany licensing agreement within 72 hours. Both our European tax accountants and US legal counsel approved the numbers immediately without a revision. We also cut our investor reporting work by five hours a week during our audit window because their spreadsheets plugged right into our deck.We tracked three primary metrics: agreement turnaround time, audit revision count, and weekly reporting hours. Using their certified report, we finalized our US intercompany licensing agreement within 72 hours and passed both European tax and US legal compliance reviews with zero revisions. Their working spreadsheets also cut our investor reporting workload by five hours a week and saved us $3,800 compared to traditional European advisory quotes.

How did Transaction Capital LLC perform from a project management standpoint?

Communication was smooth despite the six-hour time difference between our office in Germany and their New York team. We used WhatsApp for daily updates and Google Meet to review financial tables together. They promised the report by Friday afternoon and delivered it a day early on Thursday morning.

What did you find most impressive about them?

A credentialed analyst calculated every number in our report rather than running generic valuation software. They took the time to understand how film production workflows and sustainability tracking add value to our platform.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Adding a one-page summary at the front of the 45-page report would make it easier to share headline numbers with creative board members who lack a finance background.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Our only minor hurdle was converting our German accounting statements into US tax formats, which their lead analyst resolved during a 15-minute Google Meet call without delaying our delivery.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Transaction Capital LLC?

As our team grew, we wanted to give employee stock options and update our internal equity structure while keeping compliance with IRS rules. We hired Transaction Capital LLC to perform an IRS Safe Harbor 409A valuation and business appraisal.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We sent Transaction Capital LLC our cap table, three years of financial statements, multi-year revenue forecasts, and client retention data. Their analysts examined our recurring pharmacy benefit revenue and used market and income approaches that follow IRS Section 409A and AICPA guidelines. Transaction Capital LLC delivered a draft report in four business days so our leadership team could review the assumptions before making payment. After a review call to confirm our growth forecast, they issued the final certified 409A valuation report.Moreover, their lead appraiser joined a 30-minute call with our leadership team and CPA to review our option pool strike price and explain which contract milestones would require an early IRS compliance refresh, all at no extra cost.

How did Transaction Capital LLC perform from a project management standpoint?

Communication was clear and direct throughout the engagement. We shared documents via email and had one short phone call to discuss our client contract structure. Transaction Capital LLC met every promised timeline and answered our questions the same business day.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Transaction Capital LLC's draft first payment policy made the decision easy for us. Being able to read the 409A valuation report and verify its compliance with our CPA before paying gave us complete peace of mind.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Providing a standardized template for cap table formatting at the start of the project would help first-time clients organize their spreadsheet data faster.

How did Transaction Capital LLC perform from a project management standpoint?

Communication ran smoothly through email and two short phone calls to review our software revenue model. They met every deadline, delivered the draft in four days, and replied to all our emails within hours.

What did you find most impressive about them?

We really liked their pay-after-draft-approval policy. Reviewing the draft report before paying removed all financial risk and proved they stood behind their work.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Adding a client portal to upload files in one place would save some time over sorting email attachments.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the head of finance at  a global payments platform that enables businesses to instantly issue and manage digital payments via tokenized Mastercards, streamlining payouts and financial product launches for organizations worldwide.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What specific goals or objectives did you hire Transaction Capital LLC to accomplish for your company?

We engaged Transaction Capital LLC to provide an independent fair value assessment of the convertible notes and preferred warrants issued in our recent financing round. Our priority was to obtain a well-supported IFRS 9 valuation that would allow us to recognize the embedded derivative liabilities appropriately and withstand scrutiny from our statutory auditors.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

A managing director and a quantitative specialist from Transaction Capital LLC analyzed our loan agreements, cap table, and historical volatility comparables. They built a Monte Carlo simulation model in Excel and wrote a formal IFRS 9 technical memo. We coordinated document uploads through Basecamp and spoke twice a week on Zoom.In addition to the signed IFRS 9 technical memo, Transaction Capital LLC’s team handed over an unlocked Excel workbook that held the full Monte Carlo simulation model, raw data outputs, and peer volatility exact journal entries for our balance sheet.

What is the team composition?

We worked with 2–5 teammates from Transaction Capital LLC.

How did you come to work with Transaction Capital LLC?

We found Transaction Capital LLC on Clutch. We chose them because they had high ratings, their pricing fit our budget, and they offered good value for the cost.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together in April 2026.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

Transaction Capital LLC’s team completed the work in 12 business days, three days ahead of our deadline. Our external auditors accepted the valuation figures on the review, which cut our year-end close by 10 days. We also saved €15,000 in audit overrun charges since we didn’t need to revisit the numbers or request corrections.Moreover, because Transaction Capital LLC gave us an unlocked model, our controllers now run quarterly fair value updates in-house in under two hours. We no longer pay external specialists for routine quarterly revaluations, which saves us another €18,000 a year. It also shaved three days off our standard quarterly close.

How did Transaction Capital LLC perform from a project management standpoint?

Transaction Capital LLC delivered everything on time and sent the final package three days early. Whenever our controllers posted a question in Basecamp, their analyst responded within an hour with clear calculations and assumptions. Their communication was fast, precise, and helpful. They were proactive in clarifying anything we didn’t understand.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Most firms lock their spreadsheets and hide their formulas, but Transaction Capital LLC gave us a transparent model we could inspect and reuse. That gave us confidence in the results. Their quantitative analyst also defended the volatility inputs directly with our audit partner, which took pressure off our team and built trust with the auditors.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Their initial draft included a few US GAAP accounting references instead of the IFRS terminology our European auditors required. We pointed this out, and they corrected the text the same afternoon. Starting with an IFRS template would have made the process smoother and saved a bit of time.

Our external audit firm accepted the valuation without requesting changes, eliminating two weeks of expected audit delays and allowing us to file our year-end financial statements on schedule.Their models passed our external audit without a single adjustment, saving our finance team about 80 hours of rework and roughly $25,000 in audit extension fees. Delivering the final pack eight days into a four-week window also let us wrap up our board reporting two weeks early.Beyond the audit sign-off, we monitored milestone turnaround times and executive review cycles. Transaction Capital LLC's analysts cleared all 10 due diligence queries within 24 hours of submission. That allowed our board to approve the asset schedule in a single 45-minute meeting with zero requested revisions.

How did Transaction Capital LLC perform from a project management standpoint?

Transaction Capital LLC met each agreed milestone. They submitted the final models four days ahead of schedule. The analysts answered questions within the day and guided our leadership team through draft assumptions during two scheduled reviews.We tracked tasks in Monday.com and used Microsoft Teams for project communication.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Transaction Capital LLC understood the economics of enterprise SaaS and the mechanics of subscription revenue without needing explanations. Their reports used financial logic that our executives who are not finance experts could follow without getting lost in academic valuation jargon.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Working across multiple time zones caused delays when our European staff sent morning questions to the US team. Using an automated calendar link for calls would have sped up diary coordination during the first week.

We issued options to 14 core team members within six weeks of receiving the report, and all 14 accepted. Getting the valuation cleared on our first HMRC submission also saved us an estimated £12,000 in follow-up legal fees and kept our hiring timeline on track.

Moreover, we tracked retention and satisfaction through quarterly surveys and annual reviews. In the six months after the grant, turnover among our senior developers dropped to zero, and satisfaction scores regarding compensation transparency rose from 68% to 91%.

How did Transaction Capital LLC perform from a project management standpoint?

The deliverables arrived ahead of schedule. We communicated through Slack and tracked milestones in Asana. We also had weekly Google Meet calls, and they stayed available in Slack whenever our operations team needed a quick answer.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They explained valuation methods in a straightforward way. Instead of treating the engagement as a pure accounting exercise, they took the time to understand our game-development business model.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Their initial data-request spreadsheet was quite heavy to work through. A short kickoff call to explain the inputs required would have saved our team some time at the start.
