There are many reasons to value a business, such as a merger or acquisition. The need can also arise in a litigation context such as a marital break-up, bankruptcy, breach of contract, and dissenting shareholder dispute.

Determining the value of a business may also be required for tax purposes, such as the conversion of a C corporation to an S corporation or for gift or estate tax purposes. Business owners find it extremely valuable to have an experienced valuation analyst assist in drafting language in their buy-sell agreement to ensure a fair price is determined due to a death, retirement or disability.

A business valuation looks at the very soul of a business. We can provide in-depth analysis to help you identify the factors that drive the value of your business. This analysis can also help you to determine the value of a target company in which you wish to acquire.

We believe that obtaining the proper recognized credentials to perform business valuations makes a difference. The Accredited in Business Valuation (ABV) Credential is the mark of excellence in the field of business valuation.

Retaining a CPA who is Accredited in Business Valuation gives assurance in knowing that the credentials of your valuation analyst demonstrate:

• A rigorous testing and certification process developed by the AICPA;
• Proven competence in the complexities of business valuation and adhering to professional standards;
• Required continuing education targeting a broad range of knowledge in valuation science, including economics, accounting, business law and finance; and
• Skills in selecting the most appropriate valuation methodology
