The Importance of BV Credentials
To provide expert testimony in court, solid credentials are critical in the practice of business valuation.  The concepts and methodologies must be understood and correctly applied to reach a conclusion of value that is reasonable and supportable.

A valuation professional often serves as either an expert witness or as a consultant.  As a consultant, a CPA acts as an adviser for the attorney.  In a business appraiser and expert witness role, the appraiser must not be an advocate for either side.

No Surprises
In litigation, you don't want surprises.  That's why you'll appreciate getting the whole truth from Bailes & Co., PC. You'll get all the information and analysis you need to hear, not just what you want to hear. When choosing a business valuator, choose one that brings a lot more to the table. With a CPA/ABV, you'll have access to a unique professional with a combination of broad business knowledge and a technical skill set that you just can't get elsewhere. Make sure there's nothing missing from your valuation.

CPA/ABV
As you prepare for future litigation, a CPA who is Accredited in Business Valuation (CPA/ABV) can help you by providing a thorough understanding for financial statement analysis, taxation, economics and business management across a wide range of industries.
