409A Valuation

 409A VALUATION

We are the top provider of 409A valuation reports in the country for good reason. Other providers may be too expensive, on one end of the spectrum, or too cheap and not truly compliant. For 409A valuation reports, we are the perfect combination of quality at a great value.

  • What Is IRC 409A?

    IRC 409A valuation became part of the tax code in January 2005. It broadly applies to deferred compensation and, for companies issuing standard employee stock options, an option grant creates compliance needs. It’s best to have a qualified third-party perform the valuation.

  • Taxable Events

    To avoid creating a taxable event for employees at the time of grant, nonqualified stock options must be issued at fair market value (FMV). A valuation should be performed by an independent appraiser to provide a valuation report to determine FMV.

  • Needed Information

    The information and documents required to perform an analysis are generally readily available with some minor exceptions that are easily prepared. This typically includes company background, company ownership, and financial information.

  • Timeframe and Cost

    First draft of the reports are normally available within ten business days from receipt of the needed information. As the top provider of this service, our standard prices are reasonable for the highest quality valuation and report.


 ESTATE PLANNING

Transferring assets? You’ll need an estate planning valuation. We follow best practices and are an ideal provider of valuation services as you transfer assets.

  • Expertise Required

    Individuals are wise to engage highly competent, focused counsel and advisors to help them navigate an area that requires significant subject matter expertise.

  • Know Latest Developments

    Case law evolves in the area of valuation of closely held businesses and a valuation firm must stay abreast of latest developments to provide the best service for their clients. Our team stays current on the latest changes.

  • Use of Discounts

    Appraisers must utilize best practices for discounts for lack of marketability and discounts for lack of control. Our valuations follow best practices and are supportable.

  • Optimization for Taxes

    Sophisticated structuring is often the best way to optimize for taxes in a cost-effective way, but it requires advisors who know what they are doing and follow Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) and American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) guidelines.
