Financial Valuations

Finding the fair value

Financial valuations are essential for individuals and businesses in a large range of situations. These may include taxation, financial reports, litigation and transactions. It is crucial that a valuation is accurate and reliable in order to make the most educated decisions, to transact at the appropriate value and, in litigation circumstances, to achieve a fair and commercial result.

Whether it is a shareholder’s or matrimonial dispute, or a claim for profit loss, the disagreement is often value focused: value of a business, value of any assets, or a value that is being forfeited by someone in the party involved. Securing independent and expert financial valuations and forensics counsel early in any process is fundamental to alleviating the potentially substantial legal fees associated with lengthy disputes.

Why value expert advice

In the past, any qualified accountant was able to dabble in giving valuation guidance. However, the financial valuations field is today increasingly acknowledged as a specialist service area and is subject to scrutiny under close regulation. The detailed standards for valuations are APES 225 Valuation Services. These govern the quality required for valuations and, as such, demands expert knowledge and skills.

The financial valuations specialists here at GANTPMV have an extensive range of experience when it comes to determining appropriate values and results for all invested stakeholders. Our valuations are supported by extensive investigation and analysis, along with our team having comprehensive knowledge of commercial issues around the Sunshine Coast, Northern Queensland, Central Queensland and the Discovery Coast and how these issues can ultimately impact value.
