Experience

With over 125 years of collective experience offering tax planning and compliance valuations, our professionals are sought after by top attorneys and advisors to work with many of the nation’s wealthiest families and largest closely held businesses. Our valuation opinions are supported through tailored research, value-added insights, and thoughtful analyses developed to withstand scrutiny from the IRS and opposing experts. Our professionals are well versed in the latest tax court cases, audit trends, and areas of IRS examination. ​

​

Our reports are drafted by our senior professionals and are customized for each situation, organized, thorough, properly annotated, and designed to preempt many common criticisms and counterarguments from the IRS. Valuation firms often charge multiples (2-3 times or more) of the original valuation fee to prepare a subsequent report appropriate for submission in court, surprising clients with unpleasant backend fees. AltaView believes that by doing things right the first time, significant future time and expense can be avoided.
