What working together actually does for you.
Maximize exit value
We close valuation gaps before a buyer sees your numbers. Most owners leave money on the table not because the business is weak, but because the story is unclear.
Prepare years in advance
Whether your exit is 12 months or 5 years away, preparation starts now. We build the financial foundation and position your business for serious buyers.
Arrive at the table ready
You should never be educating your advisors about your own business. We get you to a place where your first broker conversation is 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 leverage for buyers to reprice or walk.
Alaska-born. Finance-trained. Operator at heart.
Kekama Tuiofu grew up in Alaska and has spent his career at the intersection of capital markets, private equity, and business operations. He has advised CFOs, sat on portfolio company boards, underwritten over $300M in infrastructure investments, and built ventures from scratch. He lives in Anchorage with his fiancee Jenessa and their two border collie aussie mixes, Indie and Wesley. Outside of work you will find him on a golf course, a volleyball court, or somewhere in the outdoors.
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 during the pre-transaction phase.
He founded Due Dilly to close that gap, building the exit preparation platform he wished had existed for every owner he had watched navigate this process without the right foundation.
Led underwriting on sponsor acquisitions at Pt Capital. Knows what buyers prioritize and what kills deals before an LOI is signed.
Director-level at Alaska Communications. Founder of AIAIO. Bridges the gap between financial narrative and operational reality.
Supported pre-transaction preparation and exits exceeding $200M EV. Guided owners on positioning, readiness, and closing.
Serious owners. Not curious ones.
I work with small business owners between $500K and $25M in annual revenue who are actively preparing for a future sale or transition.
I limit my practice to seven clients at a time so each pre-transaction engagement gets real, undivided attention.
How I work with clients.
Hands-on pre-transaction support covering everything before you engage M&A advisors.
Exit Preparation and FP&A Consulting
Direct, ongoing pre-transaction engagement. Financial storytelling, valuation gap analysis, operational cleanup, and exit preparation strategy with someone who has been on every side of the table.
Fractional Operator Network
When gaps surface in your business, I bring in vetted fractional operators across technology, marketing, sales, FP&A, and product. Senior expertise scoped to your pre-transaction needs.
Advisor Matching
Personal introductions to vetted M&A attorneys, brokers, tax strategists, CPAs for quality of earnings, strategic buyers, and vetted acquisition buyers. A direct connection, not a directory referral.
I work alongside brokers, attorneys, and M&A advisors. If you have clients who are not yet ready to transact, let us talk.
