One discipline, done properly
A valuation is only worth what its documentation can defend. A number without workpapers is a guess with a decimal point—and it is the workpapers that an auditor, reviewer, or IRS examiner ultimately evaluates.
Flookup Valuations LLC is a US-focused valuation and financial advisory firm led by professionals with extensive experience in business and equity valuations, purchase price allocation, ESOP valuations, impairment testing, and complex financial instruments. Our work combines rigorous valuation methodologies with strong accounting and financial reporting expertise. We work in two ways: directly with companies and investors who need defensible valuations, and alongside CPA firms that want to provide valuation services to their clients without building an in-house valuation practice. Our focus is on technically sound analysis, clear documentation, and workpapers that can withstand audit, review, and regulatory scrutiny.
The standards we hold ourselves to
Documented
A conclusion is only as good as the workpapers behind it. Every input and judgement is written down so it can be followed years later, by someone who was not in the room.
Independent
The methodology follows the facts and the applicable standard. We will tell you where a number is likely to land before you engage us, and we will not move it to suit a preference.
Specialist
Valuation is the only thing we do. We take a small number of engagements at a time so each one gets the attention the standard demands.
Available afterwards
The engagement does not end at delivery. If an auditor or the IRS questions the conclusion, we are there to help you answer it.
