Business Valuation
A clear, well-documented view of what your business is worth, and why, from Tommy Fairbank, CPA.
How Tommy helps
Knowing what a business is worth matters long before a sale. It shapes partner buyouts, buy-sell agreements, gifting ownership to family and planning your eventual exit. Tommy analyzes your financial statements, normalizes the numbers for one-time and owner-specific items and applies accepted valuation approaches to arrive at a supportable value.
You receive a written report that explains the conclusion in plain English. If your situation calls for a credentialed appraisal, for example for certain gift and estate tax filings or litigation, Tommy will tell you up front and coordinate with a qualified appraiser.

Common questions
When would I need a business valuation?
Common reasons include buying or selling a business, buying out a partner, setting up a buy-sell agreement, gifting ownership to family, and planning for your estate, succession or exit.
How long does a valuation take?
Most valuations take a few weeks once Tommy has your financial statements and tax returns. Timing depends on the size of the business and the purpose of the valuation.
