About Accounting Firm Value

What is on this site

One question, "business valuation report", answered with a comparison that works on the page with no account, 4 guides on the questions around it, a data table you can cite (the figures and their method), and the sources every figure rests on.

• Calculation of value or conclusion of value: which you need: The difference is a scope restriction agreed in advance, disclosed in the report. Where that is fine, where it is fatal, and what it does to the fee.
• What a business valuation report must contain: The IRS reporting standard for its own personnel, and the prescribed contents of a qualified appraisal. Two different specifications, both checkable.
• Who may sign: qualified appraiser requirements: For a charitable contribution the appraiser is defined by regulation: verifiable education and experience, two years or a recognised designation, and hard dating rules.
• The valuation report for a sale, and the allocation nobody plans for: A sale needs a conclusion of value, not a calculation. And the price is only half the negotiation: the residual method allocation is the other half.

Accounting Firm Value is an independent site operated by Ellul Solutions Ltd. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to the Internal Revenue Service, the AICPA, the Small Business Administration or any valuation firm, and it is not an appraisal firm, a law firm or a tax adviser. Nothing here is a valuation or advice on a filing. We take no commission from any firm and carry no paid placements, and no fee, price or valuation figure appears anywhere on this site, because no authority publishes one and a range without quotes behind it launders a guess into a benchmark. Every requirement stated is taken from a primary source cited on this page and read on the date shown.
