Alan P. Fiske, CPA/ABV/CFF – Managing Director
Alan Fiske established Fiske & Company in 1972, and has spearheaded its development into one of South Florida’s leading CPA firms. His guidance has nurtured the firm’s reputation for unparalleled expertise in business valuation and litigation consulting services. Mr. Fiske began his professional career in 1960 with a national accounting firm, and then became an Internal Revenue Service Agent in Miami. His early exposure to issues involving financial controls led him to establish a Miami-based systems analysis and software development company in the early 1970s, focusing on the development of computerized spread sheet and financial data management software, much like today’s Lotus 123 and Microsoft Excel programs. He concluded that the degree of profitability for a business is dramatically improved by efficient operations, effective systems and controls, and well-qualified management. With Fiske & Company, he began to put this knowledge to work for clients.
In addition to managing the firm, Mr. Fiske takes an active role in directing client service and strategy as it relates to tax, business planning and litigation support services offered by the firm. He has been retained by numerous law firms, lawyers, plaintiffs and defendants in scores of legal actions to provide professional perspective on issues including business damages and valuations, breach of contract disputes, divorces, financial issues surrounding eminent domain matters, and other financial issues.
Mr. Fiske has appeared as an expert on valuation and patent infringement and intellectual property matters for CNN’s “For Your Money” show, and on various financial radio talk shows around the country. He is qualified as an expert witness in Federal and Circuit Courts throughout Dade, Broward, Palm Beach and Martin counties in southeast Florida, as well as in Jacksonville, Florida and in Delaware. To continually build upon his knowledge, Mr. Fiske actively participates in professional courses and seminars on subjects directly and indirectly relating to his practice, including appraisals, valuation, computer solutions, taxation, audit and reporting, eminent domain, forensic accounting and accounting litigation, among others.
