Leadership
Our 1:7 ratio means more 1:1
Our ratio of executive team shareholders to staff is unusually low for a full-service regional firm: 1:7 or lower, depending on the service or industry practice group. It means you get the direct, involved attention of our top talent from day one. They proactively offer you strategy, feedback, and ideas all along the way.

“I had the pleasure of working with Tiffany and Keith on a client project that was a bit complicated and had certain time constraints. Your team did the work really thoroughly and efficiently and were flexible when court time lines demanded it. It was a very positive engagement.”

CASE STUDY
Establishing Damages
BACKGROUND
During the acquisition of a winery, a license from the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) was omitted.
CHALLENGE
A full vintage of wine was produced without all proper TTB licenses, which resulted in TTB issuing an order to destruct an entire vintage of wine, approximately half in bulk and half in bottled wine.
SOLUTION
The Perkins valuation team analyzed the winery’s business plans, projections, and information from the destroyed vintage, as well as industry trends, to determine the value of the damaged vintage and the future lost profits.
