Business valuation

Practical valuations for 400+ industries

Most business valuations miss the point. They focus on the number and ignore how value is actually created.

TaxFitness takes a different approach.

The Business Valuation module gives accountants a clear, commercial framework to value businesses across 400+ industries, based on real-world performance, risk, and sustainability, not academic theory.

It answers the question business owners really want answered:

“What’s my business worth and what would actually increase that value?”

Valuation methods
(used properly)

TaxFitness explains when and why different methods apply:

  • Earnings multiples as the primary approach for profitable businesses
  • Rule-of-thumb methods as a sense-check only
  • Net asset value for distressed or unprofitable businesses
  • Discounted cash flow for larger, stable, corporate-style operations

No shortcuts. No misuse.

Valuation insights accountants can use immediately

Using TaxFitness, accountants can show clients:

  • Why their business sits at the low or high end of valuation ranges
  • What specifically is holding value back
  • What changes will improve value over the next 12–36 months

Businesses with recurring revenue, strong systems, and reduced owner dependence consistently achieve higher valuations. TaxFitness makes those gaps visible.

Why this matters

Most business owners don’t understand value until they’re forced to.

Accountants who can explain value — and help improve it —
move from compliance providers to trusted advisors.

That’s exactly how TaxFitness is designed to be used.
