Philadelphia ASA hosts Panel on Current Topics in Business Valuation

Philadelphia ASA Business Valuation Panel Discussion

At the November 17, 2021 General meeting, held at the DoubleTree Hotel in Plymouth Meeting at 6:30pm, the Philadelphia ASA was delighted to host three Philadelphia business appraisers for a panel discussion on current topics in Business Valuation. 

The panelists included Steven Juska, Sean O’Rielly and John Barton, all of whom have decades of experience performing business appraisals. The panelists spoke about pending government budgets and tax laws, trends in fair value accounting and business valuation in a post-Covid 19 pandemic world where divorces are not uncommon and there is a need for an equitable division of marital assets.

As is the case for many business appraisers, each of the panelist has a focus for the majority of their work. Juska focuses primarily on litigation, O’Rielly focuses on fair value and purchase price accounting and Barton focuses on valuations for estate tax purposes. All the panelists, however, branch out from their general focus areas depending on client needs. 

The panelists’ contact information is included in the links in their names noted following in case you are looking for a business appraisal or valuation of intangible assets and would like to reach out to them.
