"Thank you for being so thorough, answering our detailed questions, and being willing to help us navigate this complicated endeavor! We can't thank you enough." - client testimonial
"Over the course of my career, I have assisted dozens of my clients in the sale and/or purchase of their businesses. An essential aspect of this includes the retention of an accredited business valuation professional. Accordingly, I have read dozens of valuation reports. I first became acquainted with Mr. Ralph Gigliotti about five years ago. Based on the quality, in depth analysis, diversity of valuation and computation methods incorporated, quantity of pertinent detail, and quality and insightfulness of his analysis/conclusions, in addition to his professional and engaging personality and style, I have ceased recommending any business valuation experts to my clients except Mr. Gigliotti. His work ethic and quality of reports far exceeds that of all others I am familiar with in his field." - Former Senior Executive to Fortune 500 companies and consultant to entrepreneurial and family businesses
