Business Valuation & Financial Forensics in Raleigh, NC

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.

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.

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

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.
