Because the historical financial statements of a company are one component in a business valuation, many people automatically think any CPA can provide this service. However, determining the value of a business involves more than a mechanical calculation. A quality business valuation looks well beyond the historical numbers. It takes into consideration, among other things, an entity’s industry and economic outlook, the skill of management and the company’s workforce, a company’s stature in its market and its competition. Members of the BSSF valuation team have the training, credentials, experience and analytical skills necessary to provide a carefully constructed and well thought-out valuation report.
Furthermore, BSSF is a member of the Financial Consulting Group (FCG), a national network of recognized business valuation and litigation support specialists. With a membership of over 80 business valuation and financial consulting firms, this strategic alliance provides our valuation professionals access to unlimited professional resources and supports our ability to provide enhanced technical and consulting expertise to our clients.
Our business valuation specialists have met the rigorous professional standards required to earn credentials from the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (CPA/ABV) and the National Association of Certified Valuation Analysts (CVA) and annually enhance their skills by attending valuation training offered by FCG, the AICPA and NACVA.
BSSF’s experienced professionals provide client support options ranging from an oral discussion of a reasonable range of values to a comprehensive, fully documented written report that would be defensible in court or with the IRS. Our reports are written so that nonvaluation professionals can understand them.
We have valued a wide variety of sizes and types of businesses, including family limited partnerships, for diverse purposes including:
