Beacon Valuation Group LLC is a leading provider of business valuation advisory services, founded in San Francisco, with a strong presence in the U.S. and Asia-Pacific region through its office on Guam. Beacon’s business and intangible asset valuation practice performs strategic and financial advisory services for clients nationally and internationally throughout every phase of the economic cycle. Our business appraisals are independent, unbiased determinations of value that are based on objective, well-documented information and analysis. Appraisals form the foundation of transactions and business, estate, financial, and succession plans. Beacon executes industry-focused valuation services for public and private clients primarily in four areas:

• Financial Reporting
• Tax Compliance
• Strategic Planning
• Litigation

Our use of internal and external networks, experience, industry knowledge, business understanding, and technology in each of those areas distinguishes the way we work. With our clients, we are collaborative, open and direct. We are not content with standard solutions. We push ourselves and our clients to think harder, to understand all of the consequences, and to consider new perspectives. Ours is a multi-competency organization in which each line of service has a robust commitment to quality and risk management.

Beacon was founded on the belief that building trust is an essential prerequisite to creating or enhancing sustainable value. Understanding the close link between trust and value differentiates the skills Beacon applies when we advise clients. It allows us to provide a powerful combination of independent, unbiased determinations of value, as well as strategic advice and hands-on help in making solutions happen in business structuring and restructuring, with proper regard to the risks and regulations companies face. It also equips us to help clients improve performance and processes, identify and address new opportunities, and implement best practices.
