<\/strong><\/p>\n there are great money-making opportunities, but don\u2019t overlook the difficulties in getting started.<\/strong><\/p>\n by ed mendlowitz<\/i> question: i am exploring the business valuation credential as a way to expand our practice. <\/strong>i\u2019m still (relatively) young to the profession and would (i think) love to expand into this niche area.<\/p>\n a few things:<\/p>\n more: <\/b>referral fee? forget it<\/a> | should you offer financial services?<\/a> | ready to retire? selling your practice is no strategy<\/a> | 20 things you need for a business valuation<\/a> 1) we don\u2019t do any bv now so my ability to acquire the abv credential would be difficult w\/o the experience aspect. 3) if i don\u2019t go that route, any thought to getting a \u201clesser\u201d credential that doesn\u2019t require the experience then \u201cupgrade\u201d to the abv once i get a few engagements under my belt?<\/p>\n response:<\/strong> i wouldn’t try to talk anyone out of getting into business valuation services, but i would point out the difficulties of entering the field and what you need to do to succeed in it.<\/p>\n there are quite a few credentials in the bv field, and they all require study, knowledge and experience. studying you can do yourself. knowledge comes with understanding and applying what you study.\u00a0 experience comes with doing the work for varied clients and situations. the credential is evidence of your expertise, but is not conclusive. the extent of your expertise is how well you do your work and can document and support what you\u2019ve done in a credible manner.<\/p>\n i have the aicpa abv and cff credentials. you can pursue these by getting info from the aicpa or any of the other designations by contacting the certifying organization.<\/p>\n there are many engagements that call for valuations where you do not issue written reports similar in size to a small book. for example, \u201cvaluations\u201d are done when you have discussions with clients regarding selling their business, buying a business, valuing the business in their personal financial statement or on a loan application, how their assets would be divided in a divorce or should be valued in a buy-sell agreement, or how they can transfer some ownership to a child working in the business. all of these situations are \u201cexperience.\u201d the quality of experience could vary from very low to very high depending on the involvement of the work you do to obtain the valuation amounts you suggested to them.<\/p>\n i recommend attending full-day state society business valuation conferences and their bv committee meetings. after you get a good taste of the area, i recommend the aicpa annual three-day business valuation conference. there are also many webinars that offer excellent instruction.<\/p>\n the best way to get experience and to learn is to work on bv engagements with those who are more experienced. if you work for a firm that does these, ask to work on such assignments. if you work for a firm that doesn\u2019t do them, perhaps consider getting a job with a firm that does, although if you are not absolutely sure you want to do this, you might be chasing your tail. if you have your own practice and neither you nor your partners have this experience, then study and attend conferences and webinars.<\/p>\n great reference sources are \u201cunderstanding business valuation, third edition,\u201d by gary r. trugman and \u201cdivorce: the accountant as financial expert\u201d<\/em> by kalman a. barson, both published by the aicpa. great newsletters are \u201cbvr business valuation update\u201d by www.bvresources.com<\/a> and \u201cfinancial valuation and litigation expert\u201d published by www.valuationproducts.com<\/a> and leimberg\u2019s e-newsletters published by www.leimbergservices.com<\/a>. there are other books and newsletters, but any of these are a good start.<\/p>\n bv is a very technical area that frequently needs you to defend your work. you have to know what you are doing, and that takes continuous updating. you need to be committed to this, and there are no shortcuts.<\/p>\n here are 47 types of bv services:<\/p>\n these engagements can arise from a party to the transaction, insurance company, mediator, arbitrator, attorney, another cpa, other professional, trustee, executor, administrator or court appointment. the engagements can be original work, critiques or rebuttals as an advocate, expert or consultant.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" there are great money-making opportunities, but don\u2019t overlook the difficulties in getting started.<\/strong>
