Appraisal Economics

Since 1989, leaders and professionals around the world have looked to us for expert appraisals and valuations.

Our Company

Founded in 1989 by alumni of the Big 4 accounting firms, Appraisal Economics is an independent valuation company that has performed thousands of appraisals for a diverse range of clients–from multi-billion dollar publicly traded companies to privately held, early stage companies.

Our Track Record

We have appraised business interests and assets worldwide, including the rights to satellite orbit paths in outer space.

We offer a range of services including: business valuations, complex securities valuations, intangible asset studies, goodwill impairment studies, trademark and patent valuations, real estate appraisals, and machinery and equipment valuations. We provide appraisal services for accounting, tax, litigation, and transaction-related purposes.

Often, we are engaged by law firms or private equity firms on behalf of their clients or portfolio companies. We also serve government agencies and not-for-profits. Our individual clients have included a Nobel Prize-winning economist, a former United States Secretary of the Treasury, entrepreneurs, philanthropists, and many small business owners.

Our Expertise

At Appraisal Economics, we specialize in one area — valuation. Unlike other valuation companies, we are independent. This means we do not engage in auditing, investment banking, or securities trading. This removes any possibility for conflicts of interest, real or perceived, and allows us to focus exclusively on the research, analysis, and reporting that meet your appraisal needs.

Our People

Over the past 30 years, the Appraisal Economics team has expanded to include former members of accounting firms, investment banks, and equity research firms, as well as executives and engineers from a wide range of industries.

Our team members have graduated from some of the best universities and have gained unique experiences from assignments around the world. We also participate in rigorous continuing education programs because we recognize that staying at the top of our field requires continual growth and development. Some members of our team have been issued a U.S. patent, held the position of chief financial officer, and achieved other high-level accomplishments before joining Appraisal Economics.

Our members hold designations and credentials from organizations such as the American Society of Appraisers, the American Institute of CPAs, the CFA Institute, and various real estate licensing boards. Our team regularly serves in officer positions for the American Society of Appraisers. Our team has authored numerous articles and lectured extensively on valuation topics, including intellectual property and power plants. We also have extensive experience providing expert witness testimony in federal, state, and tax courts, at arbitration hearings, and at Federal Communication Commission hearings. Many members of our staff have received U.S. government security clearance through the Internal Revenue Service background investigation process. This enables us to work on projects of an extremely sensitive nature.

Today we have an experienced team of appraisers, accountants, economists, and engineers that have both a deep understanding of common and complex appraisal issues, and diversified real-world experience across many industries. Our wide-ranging backgrounds and experiences allow us to view projects from multiple perspectives and deliver the best possible service to our clients. We would consider it a privilege to serve you. If you need a valuation for accounting, tax, transaction, litigation, or planning purposes, please contact us.
