Valuation advice and decision support you can defend.

Value Prism Consulting is a valuation and management consulting firm serving clients worldwide. Founded in 2005, we focus entirely on valuation and decision support analysis - sound financial and management advice that helps clients take hold of opportunities and avoid costly pitfalls.

Two focused practice areas

Everything we do sits in one of two practices - no adjacent services, no conflicts of interest.

Valuation Services

Valuation advice and opinions for financial reporting, tax compliance, and economic and advisory purposes.

  • Financial reporting: ASC 718 stock option expensing, ASC 805 purchase price allocation, ASC 350/360 impairment testing, ASC 815 embedded derivatives, ASC 820 fair value, IFRS valuations
  • Tax compliance: IRC 409A, 165 worthless stock, 83(b), 170 charitable donations, 338, 864, 280G, 382, 108, gift and estate tax
  • Economic & advisory: pricing analysis for M&A and cash-flow-based lending, buy- and sell-side assistance, complex financial instruments, ERISA/ESOP, dispute and litigation support, fairness and solvency opinions

Management Consulting

Business case development and decision support analysis - accurate, supportable information for major spending and product decisions.

  • Business Value Solution Selling: a five-step methodology to identify, document, and market the business value of technology solutions, moving the conversation beyond the CIO's office
  • Market analysis: in-depth, well-researched evaluation of competitive markets and competitors
  • Decision support: business process improvement, capital and major budget decisions including infrastructure upgrades, and new product introduction analysis

Why Value Prism

Focus and responsiveness

We focus entirely on valuation and decision support analysis, bringing in alliance partners where subject-matter expertise is required. That focus makes us very responsive to client needs.

Thought leadership

A thought leader in business value consulting - financial and valuation frameworks, whitepapers, case studies, and decision support tools.

Superior value

High-quality work at very competitive rates: no big-firm overhead, and no public-company growth expectations to serve.

Unbiased third-party opinion

By not offering adjacent services, we avoid the conflicts of interest and limitations that larger, more diversified firms carry.

Strong, measurable results

Deep experience across valuation engagements and product marketing assignments for a broad range of clients worldwide.
