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 professionally certified calculation of value — 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.

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)

What You'll Receive

A professional report (typically 8–20 pages) that clearly states what your business is worth and explains how we arrived at that number — including what comparable businesses have sold for, what your earnings look like after adjustments, and what factors affect your company's specific risk profile. We walk you through the findings on a call so you understand every page.

What's Included

  • Valuation approaches appropriate to the subject company (typically market-based with income approach support where warranted)
  • Normalized earnings with documented adjustments
  • Company-specific risk assessment
  • Professional report with methodology, assumptions, and calculated value indication
  • Analyst walkthrough of findings
Fixed-Fee
Quoted upfront · No hourly billing · No scope creep

Annual Update

Keep your valuation current without starting from scratch.

A streamlined refresh of a prior Calculation of Value using updated financials. Designed for buy-sell agreements, recurring compliance, and businesses that need an annual fair market value determination.

If you already have a Calculation of Value from AXIS and need it updated with the latest year's numbers — same methodology, same rigor, faster turnaround, lower cost.

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
Fixed-Fee
Fixed fee · Requires prior AXIS Calculation of Value
1–2 weeks typical
Spanish available on request
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 — 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 — 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. For acquisition scenarios, a Calculation of Value engagement can focus specifically on normalized earnings analysis — the same standards, the same rigor, scoped to support your due diligence process.
