BUSINESS VALUATION 

The value of a business is more than a mathematical formula of tangible assets.  It may include years of experience, goodwill, and the specific talents of the owner and key personnel. 

Our Certified Valuation Analysts (CVAs) are a distinct accredited group who are specifically qualified to provide valuation services.  The CVA accreditation is a statement to the business, professional and legal community that an individual has attained a level of knowledge in business valuations that NACVA (National Association of Certified Valuation Analysts) considers exemplary and worthy of recognition.  A preemptive requirement to becoming a CVA is that the applicant must also be a registered CPA and is required to successfully complete a rigorous training and testing process.

Our experienced business valuation team is ready to assist business owners with valuation work relating to:
