There are two types of valuation models we can use:
- Absolute Valuation – This model attempts to find the “true” value of the company based only on fundamentals. Here the focus is on dividends, cash flow, and the growth rate for a single company. Other valuation models that fall into this category include: dividend discount model, discounted cash flow model, residual income model, and asset-based model.
- Relative Valuation – This model compares the target company to other similar companies. Here the focus is on calculating multiples and ratios, such as the price-to-earnings multiple, and comparing them to the multiples of similar companies.
In most cases, the Relative Valuation Model is easier and quicker to calculate than the Absolute Valuation model, but it’s not as accurate. Many investors start with the Relative Valuation Model and see if the numbers meet their criteria before diving deeper into the process with the Absolute Valuation.
Which model is right for your business valuation service request will depend on what the buyer needs to see in order to make the purchase.
Every official buyer will need a certified business valuation and audited financials to move forward with their purchase.
This is why getting a Certified CPA to complete a third-party audit for your business valuation is crucial.
An uncertified audit will not serve you in selling your business. You will be required to complete and share certified financials to sell your business or share with investors.
You can get all the information and data your seller needs to make the purchase with little-to-no hesitation.
This means a quicker sale of your company and capital in your pocket.
Let me take care of that for you.
Why Get Certified CPA Business Valuation Services?
At some point in time, you will eventually want to sell your company. This decision could come in the next year or at the end of a 40-year career. In any case, getting a Certified CPA Business Valuation and Audited Financials does three things for you:

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know what my business is actually worth before I try to sell it?
You do not guess. Guessing at your value is how deals fall apart.
If your numbers are weak, inconsistent, or impossible to defend, buyers notice fast. That puts your price under pressure, slows due diligence, and gives the buyer leverage you should never hand over.
A Certified Business Valuation gives you a defensible number backed by accurate financials and real analysis, so you walk into the sale knowing what the business is worth.
You spent years building the value. Do not guess at the number. Know exactly what it is and defend every dollar.
My accountant says my financials aren't accurate enough to sell my business, what do I do now?
You fix the financials before the buyer uses them against you.
If the books are inaccurate, the sale stalls. Due diligence gets harder, your valuation comes under pressure, and the buyer gains leverage the moment their accountant starts finding gaps.
Pre-Sale Financial Cleanup comes first. Reconcile the books, correct the errors, rebuild the financials, then move into the valuation with numbers that actually hold up.
If the numbers are weak, the buyer gets leverage. Clean them up now and walk into the deal from a position of strength.
I'm buying a business, how do I know the financials the seller gave me are actually accurate?
You don't trust the numbers. You prove them.
Because once you sign the deal, the problem becomes yours. Inflated revenue, buried expenses, weak margins, bad debt, sloppy books. Any one of those could turn a great-looking acquisition into an expensive mistake.
A Third-Party Financial Review tears into the numbers, tests what is real, and exposes the red flags before your money is committed.
Once you sign, their problem becomes your problem. Verify the numbers first and know exactly what you are buying.
A bank is asking for years of P&L and balance sheets to finance a business purchase, what if I don't have clean records?
Then the financing stops until the numbers are ready.
Banks do not fund a deal based on guesswork. If your P&Ls and balance sheets are incomplete, inaccurate, or impossible to defend, the lender has no reason to move forward.
Audited Financial Statements give the bank the financial history it needs to evaluate the purchase and keep the financing process moving.
No clean financials, no financing. Get the statements lender-ready and keep the deal moving before the opportunity disappears.
I want to grow my business over the next few years before I sell, does that change how it should be valued now?
Yes. Because if you only look at today's numbers, you risk ignoring where the business is actually headed.
If you're building toward higher revenue, stronger earnings, and greater volume over the next three to five years, that growth strategy needs to be part of the conversation. Otherwise, you risk making major decisions around a value that reflects yesterday instead of the business you're building.
An Earnings Projection puts real numbers behind that growth plan and shows what stronger future performance looks like financially.
Do not build for the next five years and value the business like it is standing still. Prove the growth and build toward the exit you want.
What's the difference between a rough estimate and a certified CPA valuation for selling my business?
A rough estimate gives you a number. A CPA-Certified Valuation gives you a number you can defend.
And that difference matters the second a serious buyer starts asking questions. If your valuation falls apart under scrutiny, your asking price gets challenged, negotiations slow down, and the buyer gains leverage.
A CPA-Certified Valuation is built on accurate financials, real analysis, and documentation that supports the value you are putting on the table.
If you cannot defend the number, the buyer will attack it. Get the valuation right and protect your position before negotiations start.
If I have multiple entities or businesses, does that complicate getting an accurate valuation?
Yes, it adds complexity. But lumping everything together is how you get the wrong number.
Each entity has its own revenue, expenses, assets, liabilities, and performance. If those pieces are not separated and understood first, you risk undervaluing strong entities, hiding weak ones, and walking into a sale with a number you cannot defend.
A Multi-Entity Valuation breaks down each business individually, then shows how the entire operation fits together.
Complex businesses need clean answers. Separate the entities, know what each one is worth, and make sure no value gets left on the table.
