What clients say we are known for
Across 80+ published AppraiseItNow reviews the picture is consistent: every one is from a client who paid us for an appraisal, and the three things they raise most often are that they would hire us again, how quickly we answer, and how much research is visible in the report.
Responsive, professional, first class deliverables -- especially considering that that the appraised assets are extremely complex financial assets with little by way of comps. The deliverable satisfied my accountants and advisers as being more than adequate to support the valuation needed to complete a conversion to a Roth IRA

Joe and Aron were extremely impressive - the entire process went very smoothly. They were always quick to respond to any questions I had and could not have been more helpful. They were aware of some tight time restrictions I had and made sure I received my reports in a timely fashion. I highly recommend them to anyone needing a valuation.

Popular uses of our appraisal reports include:
The income, market, and asset-based approaches. Professional standards from the AICPA, ASA, NACVA, and the IRS Business Valuation Guidelines all direct the analyst to consider all three, then weight the methods that best fit the company; reviews commonly flag reports that fail to document why an approach was rejected.
No. NACVA's professional standards limit rules of thumb to reasonableness checks because a multiple of sales or EBITDA ignores earnings quality, growth, asset mix, and risk. Tax, divorce, and shareholder matters require analysis of actual financial statements, industry conditions, and comparable transactions.
Alabama divides marital property by equitable distribution, and courts typically value assets as of the trial or final judgment date rather than the date of separation. That means a business valuation for an Alabama divorce generally needs to reflect conditions near the time of trial, though judges have discretion on the date.
The standard of value, the premise of value, the effective date, the exact interest being valued, and the information sources used. Standards require enough disclosure that a reader could follow the analysis from data to conclusion, which is what makes the report defensible under IRS or court review.
