About this title

From the Back Cover

Praise for the Third Edition of Financial Valuation Applications and Models

"Financial Valuation: Applications and Models, Third Edition is a must-have resource for every appraiser's library. There is something for everyone in this book, from fundamental concepts for the beginning appraiser, to the most cutting-edge thinking on complex issues for the experienced practitioner. The authors of this book are well-respected, nationally known professionals who are thought leaders for the industry."
—Carol Carden, CPA/ABV, ASA, CFE, Chair, AICPA Business Valuation Committee, Shareholder, PYA

"This book is a must for valuation analysts of all experience levels! The new edition includes current valuation and economic information in an easy-to-comprehend format that includes more 'ValTips.' It is amazing how Hitchner and his team continue to improve upon this valuable resource with every edition."
—Scott R. Saltzman, CPA, CVA, ASA, CFFA Managing Member, Saltzman LLC President, National Association of Certified Valuation Analysts Denver, Colorado

"Though the second edition of Mr. Hitchner's book was excellent in all regards, this Third Edition squarely puts Hitchner and his team of authors at the top of the list of authorities in the field of business valuation. Few publications on the subject even come close to the book's thorough coverage of the topic, but equally impressive is the clarity with which Hitchner depicts and explains highly complex subject matters. So impressed were they with Financial Valuation: Applications and Models, the National Association of Certified Valuation Analysts has developed a three-day course based upon this book, entitled 'Advanced Valuation Workshop,' which is now a cornerstone training program for our organization."
—Parnell Black, MBA, CPA, CVA Chief Executive Officer NACVA

"Jim Hitchner has again assembled respected business valuation practitioners who have contributed their specialized BV knowledge and wisdom to create a book that provides both valuation theory and practice guidance. Those just entering the profession will find the book an essential resource. Experienced appraisers will find some in depth discussions of current research. For example, the Cost of Capital chapter is an excellent overview of various required rate of return developmental schemas. But it also delves into more advanced, and necessary, topics, including the recent discussions regarding how to deal with government manipulation of risk free market rates and the leverage issues associated with using market betas to estimate industry risk. I highly recommend this book."
—William C. Quackenbush, MBA, ASA, CBA, ABAR Chair, American Society of Appraisers Business Valuation Committee Managing Director, Advent Valuation Advisors, LLC
