VeriQual Inc.

Founded by Bryan Crosby, VeriQual builds VOSE™ — a software that takes non-W2 income, verifies it, and structures it to help contractors with tax returns.

They serve institutional lenders: mortgage companies, auto lenders, and community banks that need a fast, auditable alternative to manual tax return analysis for self-employed applicants.
