Confidential Engagements
Build value before you exit.
CFO-level support before you go to market. We close valuation gaps, prepare your data room, and hand you the buyer story your business has earned. Months before a broker is involved.
Alaska-born. Finance-trained. Operator at heart.
Kekama Tuiofu grew up in Alaska and built his career across capital markets, private equity, and business operations. He has advised CFOs, sat on portfolio company boards, and built ventures from scratch.
After years on both sides of the transaction table, he noticed a consistent pattern. Small business owners were arriving at the most important financial event of their lives underprepared. Expectations were misaligned, value was left behind, and deals fell apart for reasons that could have been resolved months earlier.
He founded Due Dilly to close that gap. The exit preparation platform he wished had existed for every owner he had watched navigate this process without the right foundation. His industry experience spans tourism, telecommunications, industrials, hospitality, and oil and gas.

Supported pre-transaction preparation and exits exceeding $200M EV.
Three plans converge on a maximum-value exit.
Every successful business transition sits at the intersection of three independently-managed plans. Miss one, and value leaks at the door.
Two ways to work together.
Choose the engagement that fits where you are. Both cover the work that has to happen before you sit down with M&A advisors.
Ongoing partnership
CFO-level support across the full pre-transaction window. Best when your exit horizon is 12 months to 5 years out.
Scoped engagement
A single deliverable, scoped to one outcome. Best when you have a specific need or a defined window.
The gap between prepared and not.
Most owners leave money on the table not because the business is weak, but because the story is unclear and the timing is late. Preparation closes both gaps.
Typical pre-transaction value movement when EBITDA, narrative, and data room are addressed early.
Window we work in. The earlier we start, the more you control before any buyer sees the file.
Of small business sales fall apart in due diligence. Preparation surfaces those issues before they become buyer leverage.
Buy side, operations, and sell side experience in one consulting relationship. No translation between camps.
Maximize exit value
Close valuation gaps before a buyer ever sees your numbers. Most owners leave money on the table because the story is unclear, not because the business is weak.
Prepare years in advance
Whether your exit is 12 months or 5 years away, preparation starts now. We build the financial foundation and position you for serious buyers.
Arrive at the table ready
You should never be educating your advisors about your own business. Your first broker conversation should be strategy, not introductions.
Reduce transaction risk
Deals collapse in due diligence for reasons that could have been fixed earlier. We surface and resolve those issues before they become buyer leverage.
