Business Valuation & Litigation Support


Establishing an accurate assessment of value for a business enterprise requires in-depth specialized knowledge. Qualified business valuators must have expertise in accounting, taxation, finance and economics as well as valuation theory and application.

    Independent Professional Analysis
    Our business valuation professionals have met rigid training and testing requirements in addition to their many years of experience as certified public accountants. They can benefit you by providing a qualified, objective third party estimate of fair market value. All our assessments are thorough and come with the assurance that they comply with accepted standards of professional practice.

    The Valuation Process
    Initially, the purpose for the valuation must be determined. Once the purpose is known, the valuator must determine the standard of value to apply and the appropriate method of computing value. Company financial and tax data is gathered and analyzed in addition to economic and industry specific data and trends. Interviews with management and site visits are necessary. After a thorough analysis of all available information, the business value is determined and a detailed report is written to support the determined value.

    Litigation Support
    Our valuation professionals support the litigation process by providing expert testimony, independent analysis of disputed values, lost profits and other financially based claims. Additionally, our valuation professionals assist attorneys with developing effective cross-examination of opposing party valuation claims.
