When considering having your business appraised, you might want to give some thought to how the numbers could be impacted by a variety of issues, both internal and external, some of which may be well within your control. The fact is that valuations often reveal the consequences of a lack of oversight that could lower your company’s true value, leaving money on the table and jeopardizing the prospects for a successful sale in the future. On this edition of “Deal Talk,” Trisch Garthoeffner, founder and president of Anchor Business Valuations & Financial Services, LLC, returns to talk about the most common factors that influence the result of a valuation as well as the appraisal process itself.

In addition she serves as a representative for the Internal Revenue Service as an Enrolled Agent (“EA”). EA’s are the only federally licensed tax practitioners who specialize in taxation and have unlimited rights to represent taxpayers before the IRS.
She received her undergraduate degree, Cum Laude, from Franklin and Marshall College in Lancaster, Pennsylvania and attended New York University for accounting coursework.

She has valued and been a transaction analyst on over 500 lower and middle market merger & acquisition transactions ranging in size from $20,000 to one billion and is a previous holder of the FINRA Series 62, 79, 7 and 63 securities licenses.
