Two services. One standard of quality.

Every engagement is governed by NACVA professional standards.

Calculation of Value

A clear answer to the question: what is my business worth?

A defined-scope engagement performed under NACVA Professional Standards β€” the practical tool business owners and their advisors need for the decisions that don't require a formal opinion of value, but still demand rigor and credibility.

Ideal for planning, negotiations, and internal decisions where you need a credible number backed by professional standards. Not intended for litigation, regulatory filings, or financing where a formal opinion is required. For those situations, we can refer you to a trusted colleague offering comprehensive valuation services. Unsure which scope your situation calls for? Read our plain-English decision guide.

Common Use Cases

  • Buy-sell agreements
  • Succession planning
  • Internal decision-making
  • Early-stage negotiations
  • Periodic / recurring valuations
  • Tax planning support (consult your tax advisor for filing requirements)

Annual Update

Keep your valuation current without starting from scratch.

The second half of the AXIS Valuation Program: a scheduled annual refresh of your Calculation of Value using updated financials. A current, standards-compliant number should not be a one-time event β€” buy-sell agreements and exit plans are only as reliable as the valuation behind them, and that number ages.

Program clients receive their update on a scheduled annual cycle β€” same methodology, same rigor, faster turnaround, lower cost. Already hold an AXIS Calculation of Value? Updates remain available for engagements completed within the last 24 months.

Common Use Cases

  • Annual buy-sell agreement updates
  • Year-over-year value tracking
  • Partner equity reconciliation

What's Included

  • Updated financial analysis with current-year data
  • Revised market multiples and risk assessment
  • Comparison to prior-year conclusion
  • Professional update report with methodology notes
From $750
Fixed fee. Fee based on entity complexity and analytical scope. Requires a prior AXIS Calculation of Value.

Bilingual service Β· Report in English
Annual updates use the same methodology and standards as the original Calculation of Value. Available to clients with a prior AXIS engagement completed within the last 24 months. For businesses requiring a new baseline analysis, see Calculation of Value.

For CPA Firms

Your embedded valuation department.

Most CPA firms don't have a credentialed valuation analyst on staff β€” and don't need one full-time. AXIS gives you access to CVA-level analysis on a per-engagement basis, without the overhead of hiring, credentialing, or managing a valuation department.

Your clients stay yours. We operate behind the scenes to deliver:

Deliverables that reflect your standard of quality
Direct communication with your team β€” no client confusion
Consistent turnaround aligned with your engagement timelines
Standards-compliant work you can confidently present to your clients

Whether it's a one-time engagement or an ongoing relationship, we scale to your needs without adding headcount to your firm. Not sure a situation warrants a referral yet? See the triggers you're probably already seeing. For acquisition scenarios, a Calculation of Value engagement can focus specifically on normalized earnings analysis β€” the same standards, the same rigor, scoped to support your due diligence process.
