An ASA Credentialed Appraiser Means Business
The American Society of Appraisers (ASA) is a world-renowned and respected international organization entirely devoted to the appraisal profession. To earn accreditation from the ASA, the appraiser must go through a thorough and meticulous process. Members earning the ASA designation have demonstrated experience and excellence in the valuation profession, and are committed to upholding ASA’s high professional and ethical standards.
ASC 805 compliant intangible asset valuation and other financial reporting appraisals require highly-specialized knowledge and experience. An appraiser with the Certified in Entity and Intangible Valuations™ (CEIV™) Credential holds the most distinguished Fair Value valuation experience in the market today.
Your ASA and CEIV certified professionals at APEX Financial Services will customize the valuation process in order to meet your individual requirements and achieve tax and audit supportable results.
