Business Valuation Training Even if You Do Not Intend to Earn a Valuation Credential
Given that business valuations have become a mainstream service in the CPA and business advisory industries, it is incumbent on all financial professionals to have a basic understanding. 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 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, and business value underlies everything that advisory services are about.
The most substantial asset in a business owner's portfolio is likely the business itself. And it stands to reason that growing its value translates into a more rewarding career for everyone and ultimately a more comfortable retirement for the owners of the business. Every business advisor should have basic training in the fundamentals of valuing business enterprises. Even if you do not intend to specialize in this area, this training is crucial to being a solid and valued business advisor.
