Lauren Harbit

We used Tom to do a 3rd party business valuation. He was very professional and the turn-around time was what we were told. It was one of the most thorough documents I have received. 40+ pages of details regarding our company. We have disclosed the document to several other people we work with and they were also thoroughly impressed. Would recommend and use again!
