Our People

Our valuation analysts are highly experienced thought leaders.

Meet the Team

Our analysts regularly hold leadership positions on standards-setting committees of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, American Society of Appraisers, the National Association of Certified Valuation Analysts, the ESOP Association, the Business Valuation Association, and similar professional organizations. And our analysts are full-time valuation, transaction opinion, and economic damages practitioners. That is, they are not part-time accountants, bankers, or other professionals who perform valuation or damages analysis services on an ad hoc basis. On the tabs below, you will find brief CVs for our professional staff.
