Hans P. Schroeder

Since its inception in 1987, BEAR has specialized in business valuations. The firm has successfully completed well over 10,000 valuations with approximately half conducted for IRS purposes. Many valuations are conducted as joint ventures with CPA firms, most of which have one or more staff members holding valuation credentials. Typical project turnaround ranges from two to four weeks for the first draft, although expedited service is available to meet tighter deadlines. The firm works with general businesses across hundreds of industries, real estate holding companies, marketable securities holding companies, patents, trademarks, promissory notes, and clinical trials. They serve CPAs, attorneys, brokers, consultants, and business owners for estates, gifts, sales, planning, litigation, and management information purposes, with typical client size range of sales $1 million to $1 billion.
