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
Business Valuation Appraisal for IRA Conversion
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:
Through three recognized approaches: income, market, and asset-based. Professional standards from the AICPA, ASA, NACVA, and the IRS require analysts to consider all three and document why an approach was applied or rejected, so a credible Colorado valuation shows its reasoning rather than presenting a single unexplained multiple.
No. Professional standards restrict rules of thumb to secondary reasonableness checks, because a revenue or earnings multiple ignores your company's earnings quality, growth prospects, asset mix, and risk. Two businesses with identical revenue can be worth dramatically different amounts, which a full analysis reveals and a rule of thumb hides.
Under equitable distribution: Colorado courts divide marital property based on fairness factors and generally value assets as of the date of the decree or the hearing on property division. Because a business's value moves with its performance, a valuation dated near the hearing carries the most weight.
No. Assessors value business personal property at its value in use each January 1, with a cost-based ceiling when you file a declaration schedule, and that number exists only for property tax. A business valuation instead measures what the enterprise is worth under the income, market, and asset approaches, so the two figures routinely diverge.
