Estate Planning

Estate Planning

Estate planning includes the process of designating beneficiaries and executors of your personal and business interests, protecting your assets, and minimizing estate tax, gift tax, and income tax. Roth& amp; Co provides comprehensive tax and financial estate planning, which includes planning, implementing, and monitoring your estate plan

Quality of Earnings Report

A Quality of Earnings Report is a vital part of the due diligence process when selling, buying or investing in a business. Preparing a detailed Quality of Earnings (Q of E) analysis can help establish an equitable price that reflects a business’ true viability. A Q of E Report provides an independent comprehensive analysis of all the components of a company’s revenue and expenses. It analyzes and reports on detailed aspects that may not be readily identifiable to a buyer or seller in an ordinary review of the financial statements. No potential buyer wants to be met with surprises. By providing a professional, third-party analysis of the business, it will be primed for an orderly, transparent and quick acquisition.

Business Valuations

Aside from putting a number to the fruits of your labor, there are many reasons for a business valuation. At some point down the road, you will need to know the true value of your business, be it for an opportunity to sell, merge, grow profits, or in the unfortunate event of disputes and litigation. A business valuation can range from an informal quote of a business value to a comprehensive valuation report necessary for court or tax purposes. As part of any business valuation engagement, Roth& Co’s Advisory Services Division’s team of business valuation experts – under the guidance of an accredited business valuator – will calculate the value of your business, so you can make more informed decisions going forward.

Litigation Support

In every legal or business dispute, there is much at stake. The longer the judicial contest, the more tedious and costly it can be. Whether you’re a defendant or plaintiff, our team of forensic accountants and business valuation experts can assist you and your counsel throughout every phase of litigation. As part of a litigation support engagement, we will engage in fact-gathering, conduct thorough analysis, deliver credible findings, and provide expert testimony, for a more efficient resolution.

Due Diligence

Every significant business decision carries with it an element of risk. And when considering a major transaction such as acquiring an existing company, it’s important to be as informed as possible. Due diligence is the process of investigating or auditing a potential business or investment prior to an acquisition. Though the scope of each engagement varies, Roth& Co’s expert team of advisors will conduct effective due diligence support to help mitigate the risk associated with your specific transaction. >At the end of the review, you will walk away with holistic financial insight and perspective of the prospective acquisition.

Sell-Side Due Diligence

Selling a business is often a lengthy, cumbersome process. And while many business owners are preoccupied with getting the best selling price, the most important factor when conducting a pre-sale valuation is conducting your own due diligence. When done right, sell-side due diligence allows for a more informed and faster sales process, opening up opportunities to boost the value of your business prior to sale. As part of a merger and acquisition engagement, Roth& Co’s Advisory Services Division will assist you in preparing a business plan or presentation for potential acquirers, guide you on the terms of a sale, and assist you with the due diligence and selling process. At the end of the review, you will walk away with holistic financial insight and perspective of your business.

Buy-Sell Agreements

As a partner in a business, the most critical, yet sometimes neglected area of importance, is ensuring your business’ continuity after your partner is no longer able to be involved. A buy-sell agreement is a must for every partnership, as it establishes the responsibilities of each respective partner, and the general rules to be followed upon the death of a partner. As part of a buy-sell agreement engagement, Roth& Co’s Advisory Services division will assist you in making sure that the agreement is structured to meet its intended goals.

Business Strategy & Decisions

The outside perspective of an expert can be essential to proper business decision-making. Roth & Co.’s business strategists assist management in focusing on the future, developing strategy and deciding on long-term decisions, such as purchasing (outsourcing) vs. producing products, selling vs. continued processing and the disposal of a product line.
