BUSINESS VALUATIONS

Business valuations can be used to determine the fair value of a business for a variety of reasons, including sale value, establishing partner ownership, estate and gift purposes and divorce proceedings.  We can provide you with an unbiased determination of the business's fair market value for your prescribed purpose.

ADVISORY

We can help with the determination of the fair market value of a company to give a baseline for negotiation for the potential sale or purchase of a business.

LITIGATION SUPPORT/Marital Dissolution

The obligation of each party in a litigation matter is the full and truthful disclose his or her assets and earnings. Instead, often non-disclosure, inaccuracies, or illegal transfer of assets are alleged by one or both parties. The skills of a forensic accountant can be used support or refute such allegations by distilling the information and presenting it in an unbiased manner in a court of law, if needed.

In the typical divorce circumstance, we help with the determination of: 

• The fair market value of a business interest to be divided for equitable distribution purposes
• The assets and liabilities of marital estate
• The parties' lifestyle for spousal support
• The ongoing income available for alimony and/or child support
• The identification of non-marital assets

Forensic Accounting

Typically, in a divorce setting, we can help with:

• The reconstruction of bank and other financial accounts to identify non-disclosed, diverted or otherwise misspent funds
• The review of business records for personal use or misappropriation of funds
• The analysis of financial records to identify undisclosed sources of income
• Potential identification of undisclosed real or personal property
• The review and analysis of personal and corporate tax returns
• The analysis and breakdown of significant changes in spending habits prior to separation
