Forensic and Valuation Services (FVS)

Host: Josh Shilts CPA/ABV/CFF/CGMA, ASA, CFE – President, Shilts CPA PLLC

Guest(s): Mike Blake ASA, ABAR, CFA – Managing Partner, Brady Ware Arpeggio, LLC

Mr. Blake is best described as a “risk sherpa”. During this interview, Josh and Mike discuss the visualization of risk and the following concepts:

• Gaining an understanding of business risk outside of financial analysis
• Tools and techniques appraisers should be aware of to improve their valuation techniques
• Using datasets un-related to financials to visualize and assess a company’s industry-specific risks
