Expertise Behind Every Number

Deakin Consulting (“Deakin”) provides expert business valuation services for tax compliance, litigation support, business planning, and transaction purposes, supported by over 40 years of business valuation experience. The firm considers not only basic valuation methods, but also alternate techniques adapted to relevant circumstances. The firm also recognizes fact-specific valuation issues which may in turn include more than one valuation result. For example, issues may include not only “What’s the business worth?,” but also “What is a fractional ownership interest of the business worth after fractional ownership interest discount issues are considered?”

Deakin delivers reasonable and reliable business appraisals for clients and businesses ranging from pre-revenue startups to middle-market companies and larger corporations. Deakin’s client service team serves a diverse group of clients, including their attorneys, accountants, and other professional advisors, enabling them to address complex valuation issues and achieve supportable outcomes in litigation support and tax compliance matters. Given Deakin’s strong record of success during valuation reviews and the firm’s commitment to appraisal services’ professional appraisal standards, Deakin is dedicated to delivering accurate and defensible valuation results.
