Expertise When It Matters Most
The law treats your practice like an asset, but you know it’s a job. We bridge that gap. We distinguish between “Personal Goodwill” (yours) and “Enterprise Goodwill” (the marital asset), ensuring the settlement reflects reality and protects the cash flow you need to live.

The Legal Valuation Playbook
Accuracy. Fairness. Survival.
The CDFA® Advantage
We are not just accountants; we are certified in divorce finance. We understand the specific laws regarding marital property in your state. We ensure that the valuation of your practice is fair, accurate, and defensible in a court of law.
The Valuation Defender
We protect you from "Double Dipping." This happens when your income is counted twice—once to value the business asset and again to calculate alimony. We rigorously separate these to ensure you aren't paying your ex-spouse for the same dollar twice.
The Survival Strategy
A settlement that kills the business helps no one. We model the post-divorce cash flow to prove to the court (and opposing counsel) what the practice can actually afford to pay, ensuring the settlement structure leaves enough liquidity for the business to operate.

Valuation & Strategy
We build your case. We perform the valuation, specifically isolating "Personal Goodwill" (which may not be a marital asset). We then model various settlement scenarios to find the one that preserves the most cash flow for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is my dental license considered a marital asset?
In some states, yes. However, we work to distinguish between “Enterprise Goodwill” (the practice) and “Personal Goodwill” (you). Personal Goodwill is often excluded from the marital estate, which can save you significantly in a settlement.
What if the valuation is too high for the business to survive?
This is our specialty. We perform a cash-flow solvency analysis to prove to the court that paying a high settlement would bankrupt the practice, advocating for a structure that keeps the business alive.
My spouse handles the books; how do I know the numbers are real?
We act as forensic accountants during the “Discovery” phase. We look at bank statements, vendor invoices, and credit card records to reconstruct the true income.
Can you testify in court?
Yes. We are trained as expert witnesses. We provide a comprehensive valuation report and can sit on the stand to defend our methodology and explain the financial complexities of the dental practice to the judge and opposing counsel.
