Can my accountant do my Business Valuation?

Most accountants do not focus on valuations. They may only use one or two methods to value your business and these may not be the best fit for your type of business. Accountants often do not conduct valuation services in their day-to-day accounting practice and they usually do not have the necessary training to produce an accurate analysis. Additionally, the intended readers of the valuation often believe that the company accountant is too involved in the operation of the business to provide an objective opinion.

What does a Business Valuation Cost?
