Transactional Support

Sound business transactions begin with sound valuation analyses. Whether you are buying or selling a business (or a portion thereof), you need to be certain that the price is right. The professionals of Morrell & Browning have decades of experience working with business owners and prospective owners in mergers and acquisitions. We can also provide an allocation of the purchase price of a company for tax reporting requirements as necessary. We pride ourselves on being able to combine our skills with those of attorneys, accountants, business brokers, and financiers to facilitate successful business deals.

Litigation Support

Current standards in expert witness testimony require all experts to be specifically qualified in their field of practice, employ generally accepted methodologies, utilize these methods consistently, demonstrate their logic, and justify their conclusions. In other words, witnesses who display bias by applying various methods at various times in order to arrive at desired conclusions are subject to serious challenge and scrutiny.
We provide both defensible conclusions of value and insightful reviews of the work of other expert witnesses. By relying on the professionals of Morrell & Browning, you will be choosing business valuation experts who are qualified, specifically designated, educated, and experienced. Doing so will ensure unbiased and reliable work in litigation support, an area in which you cannot afford to compromise.

Tax Matters

When you are dealing with the IRS, you need to be able to rely on the knowledge of experienced valuation professionals. Whether you are handling estate or gift tax situations, or you are recapitalizing a corporation or converting to a subchapter-S status, the professionals of Morrell & Browning stand ready to assist you. We have a proven track record of providing appraisals that meet our clients' needs while also withstanding the review process of the IRS.

Value Consulting

Sometimes our clients' needs call for something other than a formal business appraisal, such as limited calculations of a potential range of values or a comparative market analysis. In value consulting for the transaction market, we may identify market ratios, a representative benefit stream, internal and external synergies, or other business measures that do not involve the ultimate conclusion of a company's value. Often, value consulting leads to bargaining tools useful in the transaction market.

In short, we are not a "one - size - fits - all" firm. Rather, we tailor our work product to our clients' needs, while at the same time maintaining the standards of our profession.
