Below are some of the professional organizations our staff are affiliated with:
American Society Of Appraisers (ASA)
The American Society of Appraisers is committed to fostering professional excellence in its membership through education, accreditation, publication and other services. Its prestige is intended to contribute to the growth of its membership and to the appraisal profession.
Appraisal Issue Task Force (AITF)
The Appraisal Issues Task Force (AITF) is a voluntary group of professional appraisers who wish to improve the practice of valuation. The FASB and the SEC are increasingly looking to information regarding Fair Value, or Fair Market Value. Yet there is a lack of authoritative guidance regarding so-called Best Practice. The AITF will work with the FASB and the SEC to evaluate proposals and recommend methodology, assumptions and approaches.
Institute Of Business Appraisers (IBA)
The Institute of Business Appraisers is the oldest professional society devoted solely to the appraisal of closely-held businesses. Established in 1978, the Institute is a pioneer in business appraisal education and professional accreditation.

NACVA is a global, professional association that supports the business valuation, litigation consulting, and fraud deterrence disciplines within the CPA and professional business advisory communities. Along with its training and certification programs, NACVA offers research support, marketing tools, software, journals, reference materials, and proprietary databases to enhance the professional capabilities and capacities of its members.
National Center for Employee Ownership (NCEO)
The National Center for Employee Ownership (NCEO) is a private, nonprofit membership and research organization that serves as the leading source of accurate, unbiased information on employee stock ownership plans (ESOPs), equity compensation plans such as stock options, and ownership culture. It is a significant publisher and research source in the field, holds dozens of Webinars and live meetings annually, and provides services to thousands of members.
