In 1990, the idea to establish an association to support the needs of CPAs and other business professionals in their pursuit to provide business and intangible asset valuation and litigation consulting services was conceived. The idea, and dream to have such an association came at the suggestion of numerous professional throughout the country while attending business valuation seminars offered by the subsequent founders of the National Association of Certified Valuation Analysts (NACVA), took the time to express their thoughts and pledge their support to an effort such as NACVA. Since then, NACVA has garnered the loyal support of thousands of valuators in building the Association and expanding its reach.
NACVA is an organization of over 5,000 professional comprised of CPAs and other valuation and consulting professionals, all of whole are pursuing business valuation, litigation forensics consulting, and various other types of related services for the legal and business communities. Of the total membership, about 4,000 have obtained the Certified Valuation Analyst (CVA), Accredited Valuation Analyst (AVA), or Certified Forensic Financial Analyst (CFFA) designation. You will find our membership comprises some of the most intelligent, dynamic, and innovative people in the professional financial/accounting community.
NACVA's members are well educated and experienced in accounting, tax, and financial analysis. All certified members are required to obtain at least 36 hours of Continuing Professional Education (CPA) in their chosen discipline(s) of focus every three years. The integrity of the Association is furthered by NACVA's rigorous certification programs which require a complete understanding of the process. We believe our valuation and forensic certification programs are the country's most objective for specialists in these areas because they emphasize a solid and broad base of knowledge from which a professional can build.
