Finance & accounting
A number you can defend: a method matched to the business, assumptions on the record, and a range that says what would move it.
Somebody always has a number in mind: the founder who built the company, the buyer with a spreadsheet, the investor with a term sheet. A valuation expert replaces it with an argued number that holds up when the other side tests it. The usual occasions in Greece and Cyprus:
The valuation experts on Hellenic Talent are elite professionals from Big 4 valuation and transaction teams, corporate finance boutiques and PE and banking roles, where their numbers were taken apart by the other side.
What to test in the first conversation, whoever you end up hiring.
Normalises the accounts first
Asks about owner pay, related-party deals and one-off items before quoting any multiple.
Argues the method choice
Explains why a discounted cash flow, a multiple or an asset approach suits this business, and what the others would show.
Has defended a valuation
Has had a valuation attacked by a counterparty, an auditor or an investment committee, and can say which assumption drew the fire.
A short call is enough to understand the situation and tell you honestly whether the network has the right valuation expert for it.
Engagements run remote, hybrid, or on-site, for clients in Greece, Cyprus, and the rest of the world.
