Overview  

As a trusted business advisor, an accountant must possess a strategic and technical understanding of the principles of business valuations, even if a client's business is not for sale. This knowledge is a critical tool in an accountant's arsenal to provide clients with not just a valuation but also strategic advice, performance benchmarking, and tax planning advice, and long-term growth strategies to maximize the value of their businesses in the long term.
