Valuation Services Backed by Proven Expertise
Deakin Consulting specializes in business valuations for tax compliance, litigation support, financial reporting, and corporate planning. We serve a range of clients—including business owners, attorneys, and accountants—with valuations tailored to specific regulatory, legal, or strategic needs. Each report is built to meet professional appraisal standards and stand up to scrutiny in audits, arbitration hearings, or court proceedings.
Tax Compliance
We provide defensible business valuations to meet IRS standards for gift and estate tax planning, stock option (409A) compliance, charitable contributions, and C-to-S corporation conversions. Our valuations are carefully prepared with attention to regulatory requirements and financial accuracy. These reports support tax strategies and minimize the risk of challenges or disputes.
Financial Opinions
Our fairness and solvency opinions offer independent analysis for business transactions, restructurings, and financing decisions. We help business owners, boards, and advisors evaluate whether deals are financially sound and in the best interest of stakeholders. Each opinion is grounded in rigorous analysis, market data, and professional judgment.
Financial Reporting
Deakin Consulting delivers valuations that meet financial reporting requirements under U.S. GAAP, including goodwill impairment (ASC 350), equity compensation (ASC 718), and purchase price allocations (ASC 805). Our reports are built to satisfy auditors and regulators while providing clarity and consistency in financial disclosures. We support companies in producing audit-ready, compliant documentation.
Corporate Planning
We assist companies with forward-looking valuations for strategic planning, capital allocation, and restructuring scenarios. Our reports provide insight into how different business paths can impact value and performance. Whether planning for growth or repositioning, we help clients make informed decisions backed by data and experience.
Corporate Dissolution
Our firm provides expert valuation services for business dissolution cases, including Section 2000 and 1800 proceedings, court-ordered appraisals, and arbitration matters. We offer objective and well-supported valuations that help resolve disputes between shareholders, partners, or members. Our expertise ensures that values reflect real-world conditions and legal standards.
Marital Dissolution
We deliver impartial business and asset valuations for use in divorce proceedings, including the division of marital and separate property. Our reports are detailed, court-ready, and tailored to withstand legal scrutiny. We work with family law professionals to provide clarity during complex personal and financial transitions.
Economic Damages
Deakin Consulting quantifies lost profits and financial harm in cases involving breach of contract, business interruption, and other commercial disputes. We evaluate historical records, industry benchmarks, and relevant economic factors to assess damages with precision. Our work is often used in litigation, arbitration, and settlement negotiations.
