Business Valuations

It's more than just assigning a dollar value to a business or an asset. It is the application of standards, formulas, and judgment - to arrive at an accurate and defensible assessment of value.

When is a valuation needed?
  • Acquisition
  • Buy/sell agreements
  • Divorce
  • Estate and gift taxes
  • Mergers
  • Probate
  • Succession planning
Who needs to know the value of a closely held company?
  • Buyers and sellers
  • Financial planners
  • Owners
  • Insurance agents
Why should you choose a CPA for valuing a business?

Information is readily available for valuing a publicly traded corporation, but not for determining the worth of a closely held company. A valuation of a closely held company dictates the utilization of a professional skilled in business matters, trained in business caluation techniques, proficient in taxation issues, experienced dealing with matters in dispute, and who is an objective third party. A certified public accountant meets all of these criteria. We give quality advice in the real world to real companies with real problems. Those who need to rely on a business valuation - lawyers, judges, business owners - respect this practical experience.

Why is litigation support important?

The proper advice and analysis in these instances will:

  • Enhance the litigation strategy
  • Enhance your negotiating position
  • Enhance the likelihood of a satisfactory out-of-court settlement
  • Enhance or minimize the settlement amount
  • Enhance the probability of winning the case
When do you need litigation consulting?
  • Loss of profits and determination of the amounts
  • Business and asset valuations
  • Insurance losses
  • Business interruption claims
  • Divorce settlements with alternative tax results
  • Breach of contract
  • Bankruptcy
