About Us
My Story:
My company is founded on the principle of providing straightforward answers to all questions.
I wanted to form a company that coupled my business experience with the certifications I have earned. The result was forming a company which offers these services:
-
Business valuations are provided for the sale and purchase of businesses, family law (divorce, mediation, and arbitration), gift & estate tax purposes, insurance, and litigation.
-
Asset tracing (forensics) completed for divorce and litigation purposes.
-
Fraud prevention focusing on establishing preventative measures and improving controls.
-
Advisory services include (my) third party review of others' business valuations, litigation consulting, and business consulting.
