Valuing a company or business - an interview with Kate Hart from Quantuma

How to leave a Narcissist - The Practical Podcast

Narcissists are very poor at forming relationships with others in every area of their life. As a consequence they will often be self-employed. Their lack of empathy can make them extremely successful in business but with that comes a lack of desire to be clear and transparent about their business ventures. It is therefore highly Likely to involve the services of an accountant to provide a valuation as a Single Joint Expert to value the business(es) or to act as a shadow accountant to advise on information provided.
In this episode Karin Walker discusses the complex issue of business valuations with Kate Hart of Quantuma. Kate acts as an expert witness and advisor for individuals and corporates, with her experience ranging from owner-managed businesses and partnerships to large multi-nationals. She has over 20 years experience as a forensic accountant and is most frequently instructed as an expert witness (both as a party-appointed and single joint expert) although she also provides advice to clients at the preliminary stages of legal disputes.
Kate focuses on producing work that can be readily understood by the non-accountant and is often told that her ability to explain things in plain English sets her apart.
The discussion covers what to look out for and how to get the best out of the accountant instructed (on either an individual or joint basis) and is intended to provide information and tips both for the client and their legal advisors.
