Hire the Best Mergers & Acquisitions Specialists

I am a Certified Valuation Analyst (CVA®) and private-company valuation specialist. My work is built around the purpose of the assignment—tax, litigation, partner disputes, acquisitions, retirement plans, financial reporting, strategic planning, or another defined need. I help business owners, attorneys, CPAs, investors, buyers, and lenders answer a deceptively difficult question: What is this business actually worth—and can the conclusion be defended? Over the past 15+ years, I have analyzed thousands of privately held small and midsize businesses, including complex assignments requiring judgment, financial normalization, and reconciliation of multiple valuation approaches. My principal focus is BUSINESS VALUATION. CERTIFIED BUSINESS VALUATION I am a Certified Valuation Analyst (CVA®) through NACVA, Business Certified Appraiser (BCA®), and Certified Machinery & Equipment Appraiser (CMEA®), with an M.S. in Applied Economics from Johns Hopkins University and an M.S. in Finance from George Washington University. There is no one-size-fits-all valuation report. Scope depends on the purpose, standard of value, valuation date, ownership interest, evidence, and intended user. The deliverable may be a valuation memo, calculation, or full narrative report. I prepare valuations for: 🤝 Partner Buyouts & Shareholder Disputes — buyouts, minority interests, buy-sell agreements, and disputed ownership interests. 🧾 Estate, Gift & Tax Valuation — estate tax, gift tax, IRS Fair Market Value (FMV), Revenue Ruling 59-60, ownership transfers, and tax-reporting valuations. 🏛️ ROBS, 401(k) & Retirement-Plan Valuation — ROBS employer stock, annual/termination valuations, distributions, and self-directed IRA interests. 👥 ESOP & Employee Ownership Valuation — employer-stock and employee-ownership valuation. ⚖️ Litigation & Economic Damages — litigation business valuation, lost profits, economic damages, business divorce, and personal vs. enterprise goodwill. 🏦 Acquisition, SBA & Exit Valuation — acquisition valuation, SBA 7(a), succession planning, exit planning, and transaction support. 🚀 Startup, IRC 409A & Intangible Asset Valuation — startup/pre-revenue valuation, IRC 409A, intellectual property, goodwill, and promissory notes. 📊 Financial Reporting Valuation — ASC 805 purchase price allocation, ASC 820 fair value, ASC 350 goodwill impairment, and ASC 718 stock-compensation valuation. 🚚 Machinery & Equipment Valuation — desktop appraisal of machinery, vehicles, and equipment. COMPLEX VALUATION ASSIGNMENTS I specialize in assignments requiring judgment, reconstruction, and multiple layers of analysis: 📉 Inconsistent, Declining, or Limited Profitability 🧮 Complex EBITDA, SDE & Owner-Compensation Normalization 📊 Minority & Noncontrolling Interests | DLOC & DLOM 👤 Personal vs. Enterprise Goodwill & Key-Person Risk 🔗 Related-Party Transactions & Multi-Entity Structures ⚠️ Distressed Businesses or Unusual Debt & Capital Structures 🏭 Machinery, Equipment, IP & Other Intangible Assets ⚖️ Tax & Litigation Valuations with Complex or Unclear Financials A valuation should not be a spreadsheet that produces a number. It should explain the economics, assumptions, valuation approaches, and why the conclusion is reasonable. For disputed or high-scrutiny assignments, I clearly document the evidence, adjustments, and reasoning so sophisticated readers can follow the analysis. WHAT AN UPWORK CLIENT SAID “He understands business valuation forwards and backwards…” — IRS-Compliant Business Valuation Client REAL-WORLD TRANSACTION EXPERIENCE My perspective is not purely academic. I have personally invested in, operated, acquired, and sold private businesses—and I have made and lost money doing it. That experience changed how I evaluate sustainable earnings, add-backs, working capital, capital expenditures, concentration risk, debt service, and valuation assumptions. QUALITY OF EARNINGS & M&A DUE DILIGENCE Valuation is my primary focus, but I also assist buyers and investors with: 🧮 Quality of Earnings — reconstruct sustainable EBITDA/SDE and evaluate seller adjustments. 💵 Proof of Cash — compare reported revenue with deposits and cash activity. 🔄 Working Capital — estimate normalized operating working capital and a defensible working-capital peg. 🏦 SBA & Acquisition Analysis — evaluate debt-service coverage, financing structure, seller notes, equity requirements, and acquisition risk. FIXED-FEE VALUATION ENGAGEMENTS Most valuation reports are quoted on a fixed-fee basis. After a brief scope review, I provide a defined scope, professional fee, and delivery timeline before work begins. If you need a valuation for a specific purpose—even if it is not listed above—send me the assignment, intended use, and deadline. I can recommend the appropriate valuation scope and report type.

Your website should be generating trust before it generates leads. If it isn't doing both, it's time for more than just a new design, it's time for a strategic Wix Website Redesign. Your website is your hardest-working sales asset. It should build credibility, communicate your value, and convert visitors into qualified leads, booked appointments, and paying customers. If it's outdated, slow, difficult to navigate, or failing to convert, you're likely losing business opportunities before a conversation even begins. I'm a Wix Website Redesign Expert specializing in Wix Studio, Wix Website Design, Website Redesign, Wix SEO, UX/UI Design, Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO), Landing Page Design, and Website Optimization. I help businesses transform outdated, underperforming websites into modern, conversion-focused websites that attract the right audience, build trust, and generate more inquiries, bookings, and sales. I've found that many Wix websites don't have a traffic problem, they have a conversion problem. Visitors arrive, browse for a few seconds, and leave without taking action because the website isn't designed to build trust, communicate value, or guide them toward the next step. That's where I come in. I don't just redesign websites, I redesign the entire user experience. Every project is built around user behavior, conversion strategy, SEO best practices, performance, mobile responsiveness, and clear messaging, ensuring your website becomes a business asset instead of just an online brochure. 🔵 𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐈 𝐂𝐀𝐍 𝐁𝐔𝐈𝐋𝐃 ✔ Wix Website Design using Wix Studio & Wix Editor ✔ Website Redesign & Website Optimization ✔ High-Converting Landing Page Design ✔ Ecommerce Website Development ✔ Website Customization & Advanced Functionality ✔ Website Migration with SEO Preservation ✔ CMS Development & Dynamic Content Systems ✔ UX/UI Design Focused on User Experience ✔ Responsive Design Across All Devices ✔ Website-to-Mobile App Solutions 🔵 𝐒𝐄𝐎 & 𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐌𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐄 𝐅𝐎𝐂𝐔𝐒 A beautiful website is only effective if people can find it.

I help Botique and AM 100 Law firms U.S. law firms and legal staffing agencies hire attorneys, lawyers, paralegals, legal assistants, legal secretaries, case managers, and legal support professionals through proactive headhunting. For the past 8+ years, I’ve specialized in legal recruiting, attorney recruiting, legal executive search, and legal talent acquisition, helping firms fill difficult legal positions with candidates who can bill hours, win cases, and fit the firm’s culture. I don’t wait for applicants. I proactively headhunt attorneys already working at the firms you’d hire from. That’s how I consistently deliver candidates who are already trained, already performing, and require minimal ramp-up time. Over the years, I’ve recruited across a wide range of legal practice areas, including Commercial Litigation, Labor & Employment, Corporate Law, Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A), Banking & Finance, Intellectual Property (IP), Cyber Litigation, Personal Injury, Workers’ Compensation, Immigration, Lemon Law, Insurance Defense, Construction Law, Healthcare Law, Family Law, Real Estate, Estate Planning & Probate, and Civil Litigation. This breadth of experience allows me to quickly understand the technical requirements of each practice, identify attorneys with the right case background, and assess whether they’re a strong fit for both the role and the firm’s culture. What I evaluate I don’t recruit based on titles alone. I assess: • Practice area experience • Billable hours • Litigation vs. transactional background • Trial experience • Client management • Firm size and culture fit • Career progression • Motivation for making a move I focus on quality over quantity. Instead of sending dozens of resumes, I deliver a shortlist of attorneys who are: • Already working at comparable firms • Qualified through structured screening • Technically aligned with your practice area • Interested for the right reasons Whether you’re hiring for an AmLaw 100 firm, boutique law firm, plaintiff firm, defense firm, in-house legal team, or legal staffing agency, I can help you build a pipeline of exceptional legal talent through proactive recruiting and headhunting.
