The Certified Valuation Analyst (CVA) is the premier accreditation for CPA’s who, for many reasons, are uniquely qualified to provide Business Valuation Services. CPA’s, through their extensive training combined with experience in tax, auditing, accounting for small businesses, and financial analysis, have the necessary background for dealing with the complexities involved in providing Business Valuation Services. Many other professions do not provide the breadth of experience and development that the Public Accounting Profession produces, and thus, a CPA should be the preferred choice for a business valuator.
Valuations are an important tool in the transfer of wealth that is occurring today. As CPA’s, we have been preparing valuations both formally and informally for our entire careers. Recognizing a need to formalize our experience to comply with the guidelines set out by the courts, we have been participating in professional seminars, courses and meetings that both enhance our skills and provide us with the recognized professional designations that the courts are requiring.
