“Managers and investors alike must understand that accounting numbers are the beginning, not the end, of business valuations.” – Warren Buffett (richest man in the world as at March 2017).

The provision of business valuations is much more than a numbers game. It requires assessment, understanding of the context and also the dynamics involved. You need an awareness of the market in addition to relevant data. Interpretation of the data, understanding the relevant commercial context will furthermore be required to support the valuation.
