Business Valuation
Fiske & Company has been preparing business valuations for over thirty years, and has substantial experience in valuing businesses in a variety of industries. Our valuation professionals have earned the designation of Accredited in Business Valuation (ABV) from the AICPA. To date, of more than 350,000 members in the AICPA, only 1,524 have earned this designation. In addition to the ABV designation, members of our team also hold other valuation credentials, including Chartered in Business Valuation (CBV), Accredited Senior Appraiser (ASA) and Certified Valuation Analyst (CVA).
Our valuation experts supplement our experience and keep current in this ever-changing field with extensive continuing education. Each year we attend several business valuation conferences conducted by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), the American Society of Appraisers (ASA) and the Institute of Business Appraisers (IBA).
Our clients use our expertise in business appraisal for a variety of reasons, including: allocating purchase price among business assets, resolving owner/shareholder disputes, establishing a formula for the value of partners’ ownership interests for buy-sell agreements, and estate tax issues. In addition, litigation counsel often utilizes Fiske & Company’s business valuation experts to analyze damages and provide expert witness testimony.
