As a CPA or financial advisor, your role in a client’s financial world is essential. From tax planning to business structuring, your insights guide some of the most important decisions business owners ever make. When those decisions involve selling a company, transferring ownership, navigating a legal dispute, or preparing for a merger, business valuation becomes critical.
Rather than expanding internal services or taking on new risks, many CPA firms choose to partner with experts. That’s where White Oak Legacy Partners fit in. By providing independent, third-party valuation services, White Oak allows you to strengthen your advisory capabilities while ensuring every valuation you offer your clients is credible, court-admissible, and strategically aligned with their goals.
Clients trust your judgment—and when that trust extends to external partners, you need a valuation firm that matches your level of professionalism. White Oak delivers business valuations designed to hold up to scrutiny in financial reviews, legal proceedings, and tax audits.
Each report is independently prepared and supported by documentation that meets IRS, GAAP, and legal compliance standards. Whether your client is heading into a merger, buyout, or partnership negotiation, these reports are defensible and fully aligned with the needs of attorneys, financial planners, and tax authorities.
With White Oak as a partner, you maintain control of the client relationship while offering an added layer of assurance. Business owners appreciate when their CPA can bring in specialists without sacrificing objectivity or trust.
Exit planning isn’t just about setting a price and finding a buyer. It’s a multi-phase strategy that impacts wealth preservation, tax efficiency, and long-term financial outcomes. When you work with business owners nearing retirement, entering acquisition discussions, or exploring family succession options, having a valuation partner who understands these complexities becomes essential.
White Oak supports CPA firms by evaluating key drivers of business value, identifying red flags that may hurt a transaction, and modeling future cash flows to improve positioning. The result is a well-documented, clearly presented roadmap for exit that supports the client’s best interest.
By partnering with White Oak, you offer clients strategic foresight—not just a number on paper. That foresight helps avoid costly errors and ensures your clients enter negotiations or transitions with clarity and confidence.
Not every client needs a full-scale valuation report. In fact, many early-stage or internal planning scenarios benefit more from a cost-effective calculation of value. Others—particularly those tied to legal disputes, shareholder disagreements, or marital asset divisions—require precise, court-ready documents.
White Oak offers a tiered structure of valuation deliverables, so you can match the right report to your client’s exact needs:
All reports follow industry standards and are crafted to reflect the nuances of the client’s business model, financials, and market position. As their CPA, you can offer exactly what the situation calls for—no more, no less.
Building an in-house valuation practice requires training, certification, and liability exposure that many CPA firms would prefer to avoid. But that doesn’t mean you have to turn away clients who need these services.
By partnering with White Oak, you expand your value to clients while keeping your focus on core services. There’s no overlap, and no competition. You remain the lead advisor—White Oak simply equips you with specialized tools that help you serve more complex business scenarios.
For CPA firms that want to scale intelligently, this partnership model is ideal. You offer broader expertise without increasing overhead or operational risk. And you can confidently assure clients that their valuation is being handled by professionals who specialize in exactly that.
White Oak works exclusively with CPAs, financial advisors, and related professionals. The goal isn’t to compete—it’s to collaborate. CPA firms hold significant knowledge of their client’s financial history and goals. White Oak Legacy Partners bring the technical valuation skills to support those goals with clarity and objectivity.
The clients benefit from a smooth, seamless experience while the firm benefits from having a reliable partner who’s responsive, professional, and committed to your client’s long-term success.
Whether you're helping a small business owner prepare for retirement, guiding a company through reorganization, or advising on a legal dispute, White Oak equips you with the tools to handle it all—without having to become a valuation expert yourself.
If you’re looking for a better way to support your clients through ownership transitions, legal disputes, or financial planning milestones, now is the time to bring in a valuation partner you can trust.
White Oak Legacy Partners offers a practical, professional solution that fits seamlessly into your existing client services. Every valuation is conducted with precision, built for the real-world scenarios your clients face, and presented in a way that enhances your reputation as their most trusted advisor.
