BRIEF HISTORY OF FIRM, OBJECTIVES, BUSINESS STYLE, STAFF AND ASSOCIATES
Southeast Appraisal was formed by Alex Ruden in 1988 to provide multi-disciplined (financial, real property, machinery and equipment, and inventory) appraisal and valuation services to firms and individuals located primarily in the southeast United States, and by extension nationally and internationally. Cost Segregation and Fixed Asset Accounting implementation services are also a significant element of our practice.
Appraisal/valuation reports are completed for individuals, partnerships, corporations, the SEC, the IRS, other governmental agencies and entities, major national (Big 4) and regional accounting firms, law practices, financial planners, major/regional banks and commercial lenders, and investment bankers.
Services have been performed for the purposes of Ad Valorem taxation; allocation of sale or purchase; bankruptcy; construction cost segregation; debt and or equity restructuring; equitable dissolution; estate matters; fair value accounting; federal and/or state income tax compliance and/or planning; financing or refinancing, leasing, sale / leaseback or syndication; fixed asset control and information systems; insurance damage disputes, placement or proof of loss; purchase or sale.
Our business style is to thoroughly comprehend the direct and indirect ramifications of the appraisal/valuation project. We then analyze and review the relevant value concepts and service levels, considering the relative costs and benefits. Through this process, we provide the appropriate level of multi-discipline or single discipline service in a professional and timely manner, for an equitable fee.
