Business valuations are typically performed by credentialed professionals such as CPAs with the ABV (Accredited in Business Valuation) credentials, CVAs (Certified Valuation Analysts), ASAs (Accredited Senior Appraisers) or CBAs (Certified Business Appraisers). Working with professionals, like those at Adams Brown CPAs, ensures that the valuation meets industry standards, withstands scrutiny and complies with IRS and legal expectations if required.
