Course Overview

You know, a lot of people have a plan for accumulating money for retirement, but far too often, that’s where the planning stops. That’s not good enough. 

The reality is that a sound distribution strategy—in other words, a plan for taking money out of your retirement accounts—is just as important as accumulating funds, if not more so. As CPAs, you’re on the front line in this battle against needless taxation, and you see first-hand the damage that occurs when clients get it wrong. 

This webinar will focus on the importance of certified business valuations in divorce cases. The speaker will discuss the various factors that need to be considered when valuing a business and the different methods used to calculate the value of a business. 

The webinar will also cover the legal requirements for valuations in divorce cases, including the role of expert witnesses, and the use of valuations in property division settlements. 

Participants will learn how certified business valuations can help to ensure a fair and equitable division of assets in divorce cases, and how to work with certified valuation experts to achieve the best possible outcomes.

Major Topics Covered:

  • Importance of valuations and factors to be considered
  • Identify different methods – Asset, Income, Market Approach
  • Understanding personal vs. enterprise goodwill

Join this CPE Finance Webinar we're going to talk about 10 key IRA planning issues that CPAs should know about to help them guide their clients.
