Know What Your Business is Worth

Professional Valuations for Sales, Succession, and Lending

Rogers Tax & Consulting provides independent valuation services business owners can rely on when selling a company, bringing in a partner, planning an exit, or documenting value for banks and legal matters. We combine careful financial analysis with local market knowledge so conclusions make sense to buyers, lenders, and advisors. If your planning includes gifts or a future estate, align numbers and timing with our estate planning services to keep documents and valuations consistent.


Estate Planning Services

Financial Recasting, Proven Methods, and A Clear Report

We start by recasting financial statements to show sustainable earnings, adjusting for owner compensation, nonrecurring items, and working capital needs. Valuation methods may include an income approach with discounted or capitalized cash flows, a market approach using comparable transactions, and an asset-based approach when appropriate. The result is a documented report you can share with bankers, attorneys, and potential buyers, supported by exhibits and assumptions. For smoother data collection and faster analysis, see our tax preparation services to coordinate year-end statements and schedules.


When A Valuation is Essential

Sell, Buy, Settle, or Finance with Confidence

Selling or buying a business starts with a defendable price range that reflects cash flow, risk, and growth. Succession and estate planning benefit from a well supported figure for transfers to family or trusts. Divorces and shareholder disputes often require an independent conclusion of value. SBA loans and investor funding typically request a valuation to support underwriting. Rogers Tax CPA prepares conclusions that reflect local conditions in the Cedar Valley.
