How does a graduate scientist get into business valuation? "It�s easy to understand," Charles tells us. Ask him and let him tell you. Whatever the professional track, Charles is among the leading business valuation consultants (appraisers) in Arizona. Business valuation is a complex mix of economics, accounting, taxes and subjective analysis of companies and industries. It is described as a half-and-half blending of technical expertise with subjective judgment. SixPillars Research Group, specializes in valuation of S corporations, and S corporations having an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). Valuing an S corporation with an ESOP presents the business appraiser with several difficult challenges. Six Pillars Research Group offers the necessary expertise to calculate a fair and accurate appraisal for these types of businesses. In addition to business valuation, Charles�s multifaceted business education and experience leads SixPillars in three directions -- strategic decision support, small business management and mentoring for business owners. Charles brings to his work 45 years of collected business wisdom. Present and past clients include a software giant, commercial bakeries, medical equipment manufacturers, small retail chains, distributors, insurance agencies -- to list only a few. In the Phoenix area, Charles has worked with giants MicroAge (gone now!), Motorola, and many other companies down to mom and pop businesses. For four years Charles was an associate of Hamilton Strategic Management, gaining experience in the fascinating field of strategic decision support. Such support ranges from strategic planning to project management to problem analysis and decision making. A former columnist for the Arizona Business Gazette, Charles was known as "The Practical Manager." His columns tell the story of his work with small business owners. It is with great pleasure that, Charles Schaul, Principal Valuation Expert and Founder of SixPillars Research Group, Inc. will be my Special Guest this week. Please plan on joining us to socialize and meet new friends! BBB |
