Association of Divorce Planner - Business Valuation in Divorce - Expert Education at Annual Conference Sept 23-24

Business valuation during a divorce… Whichever spouse ultimately walks away with the business, there are complex issues to consider. That’s why I’m pleased to announce we have Kenneth J. Pia, Jr., CPA, ABV, ASA, MCBA, presenting at this year’s Annual Conference of the Association of Divorce Financial Planners, September 23-24.

Partner and Director of Valuation Services at Meyers, Harrison & Pia, LLC, Mr. Pia will focus on the financial implications of the privately-held business’s value and earnings, which in many cases is the single largest asset and income source to the marital partnership.

During his session, “Integration of the Value of a Privately-Held Business in the Divorce Process,” Mr. Pia will address this complex topic in great detail, and ADFP Conference attendees will gain valuable insights so they might better understand the key points of business valuation methodologies. They, in turn, will be better able to educate our clients and legal professionals so more equitable outcomes may be achieved.”

Attendees will also have numerous other opportunities to learn divorce finance best practices from leading practitioners in our industry.

Plus, attendees will have the option to participate in the September 22 Pre-Conference ADFP University, a one-day immersion in family law software, taxes, PR strategies, and more.

I look forward to seeing you there!

Sincerely,
ADFP President, Lili Vasileff, CFP, CDFA
