Business Valuation Services
What is the value of your business?
Our valuation practice is built upon the expertise and experience of our people, the quality and thoroughness of our analyses, the breadth and depth of our resources, and our ability to effectively explain (and defend, when necessary) our valuation analyses and related conclusions.
Dean Dorton’s business valuation team
Few things are more important to business owners than the value of their business, yet it is often difficult to know how much a business (or business interest) is worth.
Though business valuation requires an in-depth understanding of various financial principles and the proper application of related techniques, valuation is not an exact science. Valuation is a discipline that combines knowledge and various financial computations with experience and professional judgment to arrive at a reasonable result. Accordingly, it is imperative that business owners and their advisors engage well-qualified valuation analysts who possess significant business experience to assist them with their valuation needs.
We have a dedicated team of full-time business valuation analysts & advisors
We have a dedicated team of full-time business valuation analysts & advisors who are all CPAs and credentialed in business valuation, holding the AICPA’s ABV (Accredited in Business Valuation) designation or the NACVA’s CVA (Certified Valuation Analyst) designation. Our team has more than 80 years of combined business valuation experience and has performed hundreds of business valuations in a wide range of industries and for a variety of purposes.
Dean Dorton’s dedicated valuation team members regularly serve as expert witnesses and have trial and deposition experience. They also have successful experience in negotiations, mediations, and other settlement discussions. Team members have also been successful in defense of valuations before the IRS and others and our analysts are often asked to speak or write articles on valuation topics.
