About Cogent

Who We are

Cogent Valuation is a nationally recognized business valuation firm that has provided independent valuation and financial advisory opinions across thousands of engagements since 1991.

We provide securities valuation and corporate advisory services to parties requiring an expert’s opinion on pricing, structure, fairness or solvency in connection with mergers and acquisitions, buyouts, employee stock ownership plans, partnerships, gift and estate and other tax situations, recapitalizations, fair value accounting, corporate finance, litigation support, intangible assets, and fraudulent transfers.

Our work spans companies of every size — from closely-held businesses and startups to corporations valued in the hundreds of billions — across virtually every industry and transaction type.

How we are different

At most valuation firms, senior professionals sell the work and junior staff do it. At Cogent, that is not how it works. Our Managing Directors average over 40 years of full-time valuation experience and are hands-on participants in every engagement.

When you hire Cogent. You get Cogent.
