Valuation Services

Business valuation is an increasingly central theme in many financial reporting, tax, and litigation matters. In an ideal world, perfect transactional evidence between willing and knowledgeable buyers provides adequate evidence of business value. The reality is that such evidence is rarely available and conclusions of value must be derived through a delicate combination of analysis and objective professional judgment. In a world where value at best falls within a range and the perception of bias is undeniable, it is absolutely critical that opinions of value be prepared by knowledgeable and experienced professionals. Subjectivity invites scrutiny.

We possess the practical experience and business acumen needed to look behind the numbers at the industry-specific and subjective factors that drive business value.

We work closely with clients, auditors and outside interests to develop objective, independent valuations that are tailored to meet the client’s needs.

Our opinions are designed to withstand the scrutiny of auditors, courts, taxing authorities, and other interested parties. We also provide credible, understandable expert testimony to judges, juries, and other fact finders.

Our opinions are relied upon in resolving business disputes, valuing assets and complying with financial reporting requirements. Our professionals are asked frequently to provide opinions on the following:

- Purchase Price Allocations (ASC 805)	- Goodwill and Assets Impairment (ASC 350/360)
- Valuation of Stock Options (ASC 718)	- IRC Section 409A
- Fairness and Solvency Opinions	- “Fresh Start” Accounting
- Estate and Gift Tax Planning	- Estate and Trust Administration
- Employee Stock Option Plans	- Buy/Sell Agreements
- Business Succession Planning	- Family Limited Partnerships
- Economic Damages for Business Disputes	- Domestic Disputes

We deliver our valuation services across a number of different industries and in a variety of contexts, including financial reporting, corporate recovery and reorganization, dispute resolution, mergers and acquisitions, compliance and reporting, fixed asset management, and strategic planning.
