SUMMARY
Specializing in the valuation of fixed assets, I am a Certified Public Accountant as well as an Accredited Senior Appraiser with the American Society of Appraisers serving on the MTS discipline Committee.
I started RK Valuation Advisory to offer valuation services to the mid-Atlantic region and beyond. After stints with a major international valuation firm and a family owned Australian appraisal company, I have teamed up with a global network of independent appraisers that offer big-4 experience without the price tag.

My experience includes valuations for: purchase price allocations, tax, financing, dispute and litigation, M&A advisory, restructuring, insurance, and impairments. I have performed valuations across 35 countries and 45 US states in a wide variety of industries.
