At Lotus Amity we provide a granular and comprehensively supported approach to valuation. Through this approach we seek to provide clients greater financial clarity.
Accountants, investors, lawyers, financial advisors, and business owners engage Lotus Amity to wrestle with and clarify valuation problems. We provide valuation modelling and valuations for financial reporting, employee share schemes, commercial and family disputes, tax and stamp duty, transactions, start-ups and for raising capital.
At Lotus Amity we carry out detailed cash flow, discount rate and liquidity modelling and we cross check our results with market and transaction data. Our reports comply with the Australian valuation standards and follow the International Valuation Standards.
Valuation services include valuing business interests, intangible assets, intellectual property, debt, convertible notes, preference shares, options, and lost profits.
At Lotus Amity we are committed to environmental sustainability. We support this through operating an environmentally sustainable business, focussing on working with other environmentally sustainable businesses and committing at least 1% of our annual sales to environmental organisations.
We acknowledge the Jagera people and the Turrbal people as the Traditional Custodians of Meanjin (Brisbane), the lands on which our office is located and where we meet, work and learn. We pay our respects to Jagera and Turrbal Elders past, present and emerging
Lotus Amity is an authorised member of the Management Advisory Services panel for the provision of Valuation Services to the Australian Government Department of Finance.
The lotus is a symbol of clarity. The lotus grows from the mud through the murky water, but flowers in the sunshine. Amity is based on the Latin amicus, which means friend.
Lotus Amity is an accredited Business Valuation Specialist with Chartered Accountants Australia & New Zealand.
Analysis
Each valuation has a story. We carefully research, investigate, analyse and examine the numbers behind each valuation story.
Clarity
Once we have analysed and understood the valuation story and the numbers we then prepare a clear and comprehensive independent report. Our reports comply with the integrity, objectivity, confidentiality and technical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards and follow the International Valuation Standards.
Value
Through analysis and clarity, we ultimately seek to create value. This value comes through providing independent, objective and fully supported valuation opinions.
Business
Valuation
Many valuers adopt an “FMV” approach to values businesses. This “FMV” approach we find is often flawed and also inconsistent with the International Valuation Standards. Instead, we adopt a comprehensive and granular approach to valuation and carry out cash flow, discount rate and liquidity modelling and cross check our results with market and transaction data.
