What is fair market value vs fair value in business valuations?

Fair market value estimates the price a business would sell for between a willing buyer and seller, with neither under pressure and both having reasonable knowledge of the facts. Fair value is often defined by state law or accounting standards and may differ by excluding certain discounts, particularly in shareholder disputes, divorce matters, or financial reporting.

How to value a business for divorce?

Business valuations for divorce require an independent analysis of the company’s financial performance, assets, risks, and other relevant factors to determine an objective value. At Strive Partners, valuations are prepared using recognized professional standards and are designed to provide clear, defensible conclusions that support equitable resolutions during marital dissolution proceedings.

How does forensic accounting uncover fraud?

Forensic accounting uncovers potential fraud by analyzing financial records, tracing transactions, and identifying unusual patterns that may indicate misappropriation, concealed assets, or other financial misconduct. Strive Partners combines investigative techniques with accounting expertise to deliver objective, well-documented findings that can support litigation, disputes, and other legal matters.

What are financial forensics?

It involves applying investigative accounting and auditing techniques to analyze financial data, identify irregularities, uncover fraud and misconduct, and generally gather financial evidence.

When do clients need financial forensics services?

During disputes, suspected fraud, compliance reviews, mergers, litigation, or broadly when financial records appear inconsistent or unclear.

Yes. We provide expert reports, analysis, and testimony to support attorneys and their clients.

Do you work with small and mid-sized businesses?

Absolutely. We tailor our services to fit organizations of all sizes and industries.

How long does a financial forensic analysis typically take?

The timeline of a financial forensic analysis is always dependent on the time it takes to produce adequate records for analysis, and depending on volume of records and complexity upon initial review, we can then discuss a more accurate timeframe with you.

Are your financial forensic services confidential?

We maintain strict confidentiality protocols to protect sensitive information throughout the engagement. Depending on the nature of the engagement, some level of disclosure within the confines of your matter may be required (e.g., issuance of findings to counsel, trier of fact, etc.).

What are Economic Damages?

Economic Damages represent the measurable financial loss suffered due to another party’s wrongful actions – such as breach of contract, fraud, or negligence.

How are Economic Damages calculated?

We reconstruct financial performance under a “but-for” scenario – what the business would have earned without the damaging event – using market data, financial statements, and economic modeling.

In what types of cases are Economic Damages relevant?

They arise in commercial disputes, contract breaches, IP infringement, fraud, shareholder disputes, and personal injury matters involving lost earnings.

Why hire Strive Partners instead of a general accounting firm?

Our team combines forensic accounting, valuation expertise, and litigation experience. We don’t just crunch numbers – we build defensible economic narratives that hold up in court.
