Business Valuation, Taxes & Everything In Between – What You Need To Know
 

In today’s business climate, understanding value and the factors that contribute to it are critical for companies regardless of size or industry, as well as their stakeholders and their trusted advisors. Ongoing changes in financial reporting standards, tax legislation and policies, legal and regulatory requirements (e.g., family law, shareholder remedies, securities, probate, etc.), debt and equity markets, the business law framework and case law have brought business valuations to the core of corporate decision making.

Spend a worthwhile PD Day with Melanie Russell to hear how and why her and her team of valuation specialists determine the value of business interests including various types of securities, derivatives and various ownership interests, as well as tangible and intangible assets and liabilities.

Melanie's approach is practical, efficient, insightful and logical, reflecting her team’s extensive experience in a variety of valuation situations including:

 

  • Tax-related valuations (planning and disputes): corporate reorganizations; income tax planning, filings and compliance; tax disputes; intellectual property migration; allocation of value on asset purchases; ESOPs
  • Financial statement measurement, disclosures and reserves; purchase price allocation; impairment testing; contingent tax liability estimates; financial instruments; ESOPs and restricted shares
  • Transaction-related valuations: corporate reorganizations; acquisitions/divestitures; evaluation of financing; Formal Valuations (MI 61-101); fairness opinions; pricing analyses; quality of earnings; disputes arising from transactions
  • Dispute-related valuations: matrimonial/family disputes (whether in litigation, alternative dispute resolution, or “kitchen table” negotiations); corporate/commercial disputes (e.g., contract disputes); shareholder/partner disputes; estate disputes; second opinions and critiques of other valuation reports; expropriations
  • Strategic valuations: succession/estate planning; income tax planning; estate planning; shareholders' agreement development and compliance; establishing management / employee remuneration; co-habitation agreements; business modelling.
