Why Gato Consulting for Business Valuations
Independent, credentialed business valuations for owners, advisors, and attorneys.
Business valuations are often used in high-stakes situations — litigation, transactions, tax reporting, and ownership changes.
The work must be defensible, consistent with professional standards, and grounded in real market data.
At Gato Consulting, valuations are performed with that objective in mind: clarity, rigor, and practical relevance.
What Sets Our Valuations Apart
Certified & Standards-Driven
Many professionals offer valuations. Fewer are qualified*. Even fewer are certified.
At Gato Consulting, valuations are performed by a Certified Valuation Analyst (CVA) and follow NACVA professional standards and established industry practices.
The goal is consistency, rigor, and defensibility across all engagements.

Real Transaction & Continuous Valuation Experience
With over 20 years of M&A and financial leadership experience, valuations are informed by real transactions — not just theory. We perform valuations continuously — not occasionally — across a wide range of purposes and industries.
Independent Peer Review on Every Engagement
Each valuation is reviewed by another 3rd-party qualified valuation professional.
Neither the National Association of Certified Valuators and Analysts (NACVA) nor the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), under its Standards (SSVS), mandates peer reviews. This additional scrutiny by Gato Consulting enhances accuracy, consistency, and adherence to applicable standards.
Powered by Institutional-Grade Databases
We leverage the same top-tier transaction, industry, and cost-of-capital databases used by the leading advisory firms. We have access to three Market Transactions databases for Market Multiples.
