Business Valuation
Independent valuations for transactions, tax, and financial reporting.
What we deliver
We deliver defensible business and asset valuations using income, market, and cost approaches aligned to US GAAP, IFRS, and tax rules.
We prepare business valuations for transactions, fundraising, financial reporting, tax planning, and dispute resolution. Our team applies the income approach, market approach, and cost approach in line with AICPA, IVSC, and RICS guidance, and reports against ASC 805, ASC 350, ASC 820, IFRS 3, and IFRS 13 where required. Engagements include 409A valuations for US private companies, purchase price allocations, goodwill and intangible asset impairment testing, share-based payment valuations under ASC 718 or IFRS 2, and shareholder buyout analyses. We support filings and reviews involving the IRS, HMRC, CRA, and ATO, including HMRC share valuations and transfer pricing benchmarking. Each report sets out methodology, assumptions, comparable selection, and sensitivity analysis so reviewers, auditors, and counterparties can follow the logic. We coordinate with auditors and tax advisors and respond to review comments through to sign-off.

What clients say
My books were 90 days behind and I was avoiding my accountant. They cleaned up nine months of mis-categorized Shopify and Stripe entries, set up proper rules in QuickBooks, and now my close lands on day four of every month. First time in three years I opened a P&L without wincing. Cash forecasting actually makes sense now.
Our old site was a Frankenstein of three previous agencies. We gave them a hard launch date tied to a trade show and they actually hit it. 47 templates, full product catalog migration, no broken redirects on go-live day. Our previous vendor missed the same deadline twice. This time my phone stayed quiet on launch morning.
