About AVAL
About AVAL
AVAL is a valuation practice built around a simple idea: important conclusions should be understandable to the people who need to review and use them.
Practice focus
AVAL focuses on private-company valuation, 409A common-stock analysis, and valuation questions arising from stock compensation and ASC 718. The public materials on this site explain those areas without substituting generic promises for an engagement-specific scope.
Working principles
The practice emphasizes clear definitions, traceable assumptions, disciplined models, explicit limitations, and reports designed for review. Technology supports the analytical record; professional judgment remains accountable.
- State the question before selecting a model
- Keep facts, assumptions, and judgment distinguishable
- Reconcile the conclusion across the evidence
- Do not invent certainty, credentials, or client proof
Engagement accountability
The applicable engagement documentation identifies the contracting entity, responsible professionals, scope, deliverables, timing, fees, and terms. Professional biographies and credentials should be published only when they have been verified and approved for public use.
