Need Valuation Support for Audits?
With over a decade of valuation experience at Big Four firms and other valuation companies, I’ve noticed a gap in smaller firms that lack the resources for a dedicated valuation professional. Many businesses find themselves in need of Audit support, particularly when it comes to having experienced individuals evaluate valuations that affect financial statements.
Unfortunately, most valuation firms avoid taking on this review work due to potential conflicts of interest, which means many smaller firms miss out on this critical analysis. However, I specialize exclusively in providing Audit support, allowing me to fill this gap without any conflicts.
I’m currently collaborating with a few firms on a contract basis to deliver thorough valuation review and documentation for their Audit files. If you’re part of a firm that could benefit from this service, or if you know of any firms that might, please reach out. I’m eager to connect with those who could use this kind of expertise!

Hi there!
It sounds like you’ve identified a significant niche in the market where your expertise can add substantial value. The challenge of ensuring proper Audit procedures in smaller firms without dedicated valuation resources is indeed an important one.
I think your approach of offering Audit assistance while steering clear of potential conflicts is smart and could greatly benefit these companies. To help you expand your network and identify more firms, I recommend:
Networking Events: Attend local Accounting and auditing conferences, workshops, or webinars where you can connect with firm leaders and discuss your services.
LinkedIn Groups: Join groups focused on Accounting, auditing, and valuation. Participating in discussions can help you identify potential clients and establish your presence.
Direct Outreach: Consider reaching out directly to smaller Audit firms, especially those that are part of regional associations. A personalized message explaining the gap you’re addressing may pique their interest.
Referrals: Since you already have some contract work, your current clients can be a great source for referrals. Ask them if they know any firms experiencing similar challenges.
Educational Content: Creating informative content (like articles or webinars) related to valuation audits could showcase your expertise and attract firms looking for support.
I hope this helps you in your search for more firms that could benefit from your services! Good luck!
