You've built a valuable company, but proving that value is harder than it should be.
Private sale terms are rarely public. Rules of thumb fall apart under questioning. And when the stakes involve the IRS, a lender, or a partner across the table, a guess won't do.
​
Big firms will quote you $20,000 or more for the work. You shouldn't have to pay for their overhead to get an answer about your own company.
When You Need a Certified Valuation
Gift and estate tax filings
The IRS requires a valuation prepared by a certified analyst, and it needs to withstand review.
Partner buyouts
When there's no agreed price or method, an independent valuation gives both sides a fair, clean starting point.
Preparing to sell
Know what your company is worth before a buyer tells you, so you negotiate from solid ground.
​
Planning purposes
A lower-cost valuation shows where you stand today so you can plan retirement, succession, or growth.
​
Insurance coverage
An accurate valuation makes sure your policy limits, key person coverage, or buy-sell funding actually match what your business is worth.

"I’ve reviewed hundreds of valuations of privately owned companies in my career, and the one I received from David is one of the best I’ve read. Better than many that cost clients much more."
