Background

About Ralph Gigliotti

There is much at stake in a business transition and there is potential for long-term impact. Inaccurate valuations create hardship for the buyer or short-change the seller. The tax impact of using the estate exemption too quickly due to inaccurate valuations or improper planning, can be significant. Guidance like mine is vital in transitions: I guide high-net worth business owners through transitions including mergers and acquisitions, estate and gift tax planning, or other related compliance matters and create successful results. For owners looking to exit, we work together to identify key value drivers and mitigate key value detractors to maximize value prior to a transition: Owners of closely held businesses generating between $10 million and $300 million in annual revenues in a wide range of industries. That said, I have particular expertise in the automotive industry, having been raised in the family business working in my father’s auto body and used car sales company. I also have a deep understanding of the health care industry, working for several years early in my career as an auditor of health care entities: We meet and discuss your specific situation and go through a data collection phase. Then I design an approach to deliver exceptional results for your unique circumstances. I provide consultation and support as needed throughout the transition process, whatever form that takes: I am one of the relatively few full-time business valuation experts dedicated solely to my type of practice. I have a wealth of knowledge in the intricate details of valuation theory and process, as well as US Tax Court and other relevant cases acquired over more than 25 years. My attention to detail in navigating complex valuations, strong work ethic, and quality results have won repeat business and recommendations from clients I have served: Recommendations from clients and others on my work can be found in the profile section below or in the testimonials section on my firm’s website using the link above in my headline?
