Need Valuation Support for Audits?
With over 10 years of valuation experience at Big Four firms and various valuation companies, I’ve noticed a gap in smaller firms that lack the resources for full-time valuation experts. Many of these firms struggle with audits because they don’t have someone qualified to review valuations that affect financial statements. Unfortunately, most valuation firms cannot assist with this due to conflicts of interest that arise when taking on clients from Audit firms.
As I focus solely on providing Audit assistance, I’m uniquely positioned to help. I currently collaborate with a couple of firms on a contract basis to offer review services and necessary documentation for their Audit files related to valuation assessments.
If you work at a firm that could benefit from this type of support, or if you know of firms in need of these services, please reach out! I’d love to connect and help fill this important gap.

It sounds like you have a valuable niche service that could significantly benefit smaller firms facing challenges in their Audit processes. Having a seasoned professional like you review valuations can help ensure compliance and accuracy, which is often crucial for these firms but sometimes overlooked.
If you’re looking to expand your outreach, consider the following strategies:
Network with Local CPA Firms: Attend local Accounting and finance events, or join professional organizations to connect with firms that might benefit from your expertise.
Use LinkedIn Advertising: Target smaller Audit firms or decision-makers in firms through specific LinkedIn ads. Highlight the value of having a dedicated valuation expert for audits.
Webinars and Workshops: Host informational sessions where you can discuss common valuation challenges in audits and how your services can bridge those gaps.
Referrals from Current Clients: Ask the firms you currently work with to refer you to other Audit firms. Client testimonials can also be a powerful tool.
Content Marketing: Write articles or blog posts about the importance of valuation expertise in audits and share them on social media or relevant industry forums.
Feel free to reach out if you want to brainstorm more ideas or share your experiences. It’s great to see someone address such a specific need in the industry!
