Top experts from overlapping valuation disciplines tell their stories that capture a flavor of the romance, intrigue, art—and heart—of business appraisal in a new book, The Art of Valuation.

The book starts with a history of the profession and then reveals the nuances, tips, tactics, and ways of thinking about business appraisal that can help elevate your work from good to great. Practitioners are encouraged to look beyond the technical issues and mechanics of analyses and spreadsheet modeling to the “essence of the big-picture thinking that produces a powerful, effective, credible work product.”

The book, edited by Sarah von Helfenstein (Value Analytics & Design LLC), is a magnificent tribute to the valuation profession! It is available from The Appraisal Foundation, and you can click here to order it.

Extra: Several contributors to the book (including the book’s editor) will be presenting sessions at the upcoming 2023 ASA International Conference in New Orleans October 1-3. Click here for details on the conference.
