Questions

Common questions

Why does the purpose matter?

A valuation for a sale, a gift tax return or a court case can call for a different standard of value and level of detail, so we agree the purpose first.

What will you need from me?

Usually several years of financial statements and tax returns, current results, and any forecasts. We'll send a specific list.

Can the valuation be used in court?

Yes, if it is prepared for that purpose. We can also testify about it.
