The Advisor's Foundation for Valuing Private Business Enterprises

This essential training provides a thorough overview of the internationally recognized Core Body of Knowledge for Business Valuations and lays a solid foundation for financial professionals to provide superior services to their clients.

The competitive nature of today's business climate, combined with the expanding needs of business enterprise, place upon the business advisor daunting challenges to provide the best tax, accounting, and advisory services possible—a challenging task to say the least. They must wear multiple hats, and even if one's focus is purely tax, accounting, or both, business owners expect counsel on how to improve performance by shaving costs, increasing revenues, and growing company value.

Nowadays, it is common knowledge that the most substantial asset in a business owner’s portfolio is likely the business itself. The competitive nature of today’s business climate, combined with the expanding needs of business enterprise, place upon the business advisor daunting challenges to provide the best tax, accounting, and advisory services possible.
