Richard Claywell, CPA, CVA, CM&A, CFD: "I've done hundreds of valuations in the last 20 years, have taught business valuation courses for 10 years, and have developed an EXTENSIVE set of my own Excel spreadsheets for valuation AND I use ValuSource's Express Business Valuation (EBV) software. I find EBV a great compliment to the spreadsheets I've developed myself. Since EBV is written in Excel, I can use Excel to customize it just like I customize my own spreadsheets and get exactly what I want. I love EBV's built-in report writer that automatically creates valuation reports in Word in minutes. ValuSource has done a great job building a full fledged valuation program around Microsoft® Excel and Word. If you perform business valuations, you owe it to yourself to try EBV."
