Matthew Reineck Earns Designation:

Matthew F. Reineck, a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) offering business valuation (appraisal) services with offices in Paulding and Van Wert, Ohio, recently became a Certified Valuation Analyst (CVA).

The Certified Valuation Analyst is the premier accreditation for CPAs who, for many reasons, are uniquely qualified to provide business valuation and related consulting services.  As a general rule, CPAs, through their extensive training combined with experience in tax, auditing, accounting and financial analysis, have an excellent background for dealing with the complexities involved in providing valuation services.  Few professionals provide the breadth of experience and development the public accounting profession produces, making a CVA the preferred choice in selecting the right valuation professional to serve your needs.

 

To achieve the CVA accreditation, the candidate is required to successfully complete an intensive training and testing process.  An initial requirement to becoming a Certified Valuation Analyst is that the applicant be a licensed Certified Public Accountant.  Implicit in this requirement is that the CVA maintain at least a minimum number of hours of continuing professional education (CPE) each year (40 hours) and conduct him or herself within the ethical mandates established by the profession.  In addition CVAs are required to obtain at least 12 hours of CPE each year in areas related to business valuation and periodically participate in programs sponsored by the National Association of Certified Valuation Analysts promoting quality and adherence to industry standards.

 

Business valuations are most commonly required in conjunction with any of the following situations:


  • Buy/sell agreements                       
  • Succession planning
  • Charitable contributions
  • Gifting programs
  • Estate and gift taxes
  • The sale of a business
  • Mergers or acquisitions
  • Split-ups or spin-offs
  • Divorce settlement
  • Partner/dissenting shareholder disputes
