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 an auditor or an IRS examiner actually reads.
Flookup Valuations LLC is led by a Chartered Accountant and IBBI Registered Valuer, with a background spanning insolvency valuation, purchase price allocations and complex financial instrument valuation. We work two ways: directly with companies who need a valuation, and behind the scenes with CPA firms who want to offer valuation services without building the practice themselves.
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.
