Business valuation expert witnesses

Valuation litigation turns on standard of value, cash flow normalization, discount rate development, and market method comparability. Accounting expert witnesses must translate those technical choices into narratives judges and juries can follow while withstanding cross-examination on every material assumption. Start with our business valuation services overview and the business valuation disputes case-type primer.

Income approach defensibility

Discounted cash flow models should reconcile projections to historical financials, explain working capital and capex treatment, and disclose terminal value sensitivity. Experts who cannot trace key inputs to discovery productions invite Daubert challenges and impeachment on cross.

Market methods and comparables

Guideline public company and transaction multiples require disciplined screens for size, geography, and growth differences. Narratives should explain why selected peers are economically similar, not merely statistically convenient.

Family law and shareholder exits

Divorce and dissenters' rights cases often implicate double counting, personal goodwill, and tax-affecting debates. Our divorce forensic accounting guide highlights record issues unique to marital estates, while shareholder disputes explains fiduciary and distribution angles.
