GlassHouse Research investigates the gap between a company’s reported performance and its underlying economics.

We are an independent investment research firm focused on forensic accounting and earnings quality. Our work connects financial statements and footnotes with cash-flow analysis, industry research and interviews.

We examine revenue recognition, working capital, acquisitions and management estimates to identify risks that conventional analysis can miss. Our published reports set out the evidence, explain our reasoning and give readers the information to assess our conclusions.
