The Challenge
One of AAC Accounting's essential services is business valuation. The service is provided for several purposes, including mergers, business sales, negotiation, resolving liability disputes, and determining shareholder equity.
The firm offers business valuation services to clients from multiple industries, including new ventures and startups looking for financial help. The company approaches the investors on behalf of the clients. Calculating the genuine worth of any company is an integral part of the deal. However, the business valuation process to uncover the true worth of a company is quite complicated, overwhelming, and time-consuming.
This is how firm recalls the experience…
We heavily relied on excel spreadsheets to do company valuations. It was a manual effort, making the process labor-intensive and time-consuming. On top of that, it was often challenging to justify the valuation assumptions.
We wanted to eliminate the hassles and complications from the valuation process. That’s why using the right business valuation software was the need of time.
The Solution
The company came across many tools while looking for the proper valuation software. Enter Equitest®!
AAC Accounting examined various tools for valuing companies and found that Equitest® was equivalent to all the leading business valuation software on the market. It is an alternative to Equidam, an alternative to Bizequity, an alternative to Valuesource, and an alternative to Valuadder, Nimbo, Pwc-evaluation and others.
Sure there were plenty of tools to automate business valuation. But We were looking for the one that could be easy to use as not everyone was tech-savvy in the team. Plus, the tool should include flexibility with several valuation approaches and quickly provide accurate results. We must say Equitest® ticked all the boxes perfectly.
Equitest® lets them discover the worth of any business within 30 minutes, along with accurate financial reports. This way, the accounting company could generate values and results in real-time.

How Equitest® Changed The Game for AAC Accounting
Making Business Evaluation Easier and Quicker
Simplifying Comparison
Peer group analysis is an important part when it comes to business valuation. However, it might not be easy for some companies to find the right peers in terms of sales, market share, and size. Equitest® made it easier for the accounting firm to find appropriate peer comparison groups for the companies they valued.
Speeding Up the Calculations
Valuation involves a lot of calculations. Thanks to those working and reworking figures, it takes several days to make assumptions. AAC Accounting admitted that it used to take them 50 hours to work on valuation before using Equitest®. The calculation would eat up most of the time. Equitest® completely changed that scenario and helped them save time on calculations.
Preparing Attractive Valuation Reports
Creating professional customer-friendly reports took a lot of time. Equitest® creates a professional business valuation report within 30 minutes.
