How does Valuate work?

Valuate collects and analyzes financial data from your business, then compares it against a database of industry benchmarks. Our advanced algorithms provide you with clear, actionable data that highlights areas for improvement and opportunities for growth.

Who can use Valuate?

Valuate is designed for businesses of all sizes, from startups to established corporations. It’s particularly useful for CFOs, financial analysts, and decision-makers who need to assess company performance and plan strategic growth.

What financial metrics does Valuate analyze?

As of October 2024 (when this was written), Valuate analyzes revenue growth, gross margin, operating income margin, net income margin, and EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) margin. We focus on growth and margin metrics because it enables companies of all sizes to be compared to each other. For example, if you own a software company, comparing your revenue to Microsoft's revenue wouldn't provide much insight - Microsoft is a massive corporation. However, comparing your rates of revenue growth could provide more meaningful insight around how fast your company should be growing in comparison to larger companies.

How accurate are the industry benchmarks?

We use trusted, up-to-date data from reputable sources to ensure that our benchmarks are accurate and relevant. All public company data is pulled directly from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) EDGAR API. Valuate continuously updates its database to reflect the latest data.

Can I customize the benchmarks for my specific industry?

As of October 2024 (when this was written), we have not built the ability to customize benchmarks. That said, we are planning to offer this feature in the near future - the goal is for users to create custom benchmarks with a collection of public companies, or compare to a single public company.

Is my data secure with Valuate?

Absolutely. Data security is one of our top priorities. We use state-of-the-art encryption and follow industry best practices to protect your business information.

Can Valuate integrate with my existing accounting software?

Valuate integrates with QuickBooks, by far the most popular accounting software utilized by businesses. We are planning to integrate with more accounting software providers in the near future.
