Business Valuations are performed because ownership interests in privately held companies often represent a significant portion of one’s estate and/or portfolio. The value of an interest in a privately held company, as opposed to stock in a public company, is usually unknown because there is no active market to sell or trade that interest from which to ascertain or estimate the value.

Business valuation is a specialized field requiring a solid foundation of financial & accounting experience, continuing training & education within the discipline, and the highest level of professional integrity & objectivity. The need for business valuation and qualified appraisers has grown significantly in the past decade. We have provided valuation services in the following areas:

	Estate and Gift Taxes
	Dissenting Shareholders Actions
	Partner Disputes and Split-ups
	Life Insurance
	Buy/Sell Agreements
	Acquisition
	Business Succession Planning
	Expert Witness

Forensic Accounting is the integration of accounting, auditing and investigative skills. In some instances, forensic accounting techniques are applied in a business valuation, particularly in a litigation support engagement.

A Forensic Accountant is often retained to analyze, investigate, interpret, and report upon complex financial and business related transactions in a manner which is both understandable, properly supported and unbiased.
