Value Enhancement
Value is the union of cash flow and risk. Too often risk reduction is overlooked as a method of improving value. Drysdale Valuation can help you unleash potential value by identifying areas of risk and provide methods of reducing those risks.
Employee Stock Ownership Plans
With the Department of Labor increasing their audits of ESOPs, it is more important than ever to submit a quality valuation. Many employee owned companies, from small companies with a handful of employees to large corporations with half a billion dollars in revenue, have chosen our professionals for their annual valuation needs because of our high quality work.
Fair Value / Intangible Assets
Complying with accounting rules for goodwill and intangible assets is complex. We simplify this process by performing high quality analysis that is presented in an understandable manner. Here’s an example — When the auditors of one of our clients suggested a detrimental accounting adjustment related to an acquisition, we stepped in with a thorough analysis showing that the adjustment was unnecessary.
Gift and Estate Tax
The IRS closely scrutinizes every gift and estate tax return. The thoroughness of our work shines in these situations, as Drysdale Valuation has never had a report challenged by the IRS. Our method of computing control adjustments is widely accepted, and we compare over five different methods of computing the discount for lack of marketability to provide ample support for our conclusion.
Litigation Support
When it comes to litigation, you don’t want surprises. By doing more in-depth analysis, we have been successful pointing out the weaknesses in the reports of others. This gives your attorney a stronger position for negotiating a settlement or in court proceedings.
