Rick Mertens Bio Rick obtained his CBV designation in 2004 after completing the advanced program of studies and rigorous accreditation process of the CBV Institute. CBV professionals are recognized as the go-to experts in Canada for business valuation and litigation support. The CBV Institute describes CBVs as the “unequivocal authority in business valuation for nearly half a century”. Rick's Valuation Practice Since 2005, Rick has mostly run his valuation practice as an independent sole practitioner. This allows him to provide independent expert advice in a hands-on, timely and cost-efficient manner. In this way, Rick can provide exceptional value to his clients…no pun intended. In addition to working directly with business owners, over the years Rick has assisted a large number of professional accountants when their clients require a business valuation. Being independent allows Rick to join the team as needed (without concern of conflict or exposure to a competing accounting firm) for a given engagement resulting in a win-win for all parties. Historically valuations have been sought in reaction to an event or change in circumstances (i.e. a shareholder suddenly wants to be bought out and the company needs to know the fair market value of his or her shares). However, a business valuation can be prepared at any time, and in fact, many small and mid-size business owners now choose to have a valuation prepared on an annual basis (generally coinciding with completion of fiscal year-end financial statements and T2 Corporation Income Tax Returns). |
