Value Maps 
Valuation Tools That Unlock Business Wealth

Praise for VALUE MAPS

‘Equivocator, Explorer, Experimenter, Exploiter,
Extender–Chapter 12 might be well served as mandatory reading
for all subject matter experts! SPARC is not a valuation, per se,
but rather a separate consulting engagement that might interest a
client–especially if that client is preparing for a sale or
planning an exit strategy. Miller has taken the good ideas from
five disciplines and married them with value enhancement, creating
what could become a very good ‘add-on’ consulting engagement. NACVA
recommends, and looks forward to, further dialogue related to this
new approach. This book will open your eyes to new
opportunities.’

–Parnell Black, MBA, CPA, CVA, Chief Executive Officer,
National Association of Certified Valuation Analysts
(NACVA)

‘No one illuminates the murky intersection where business
strategy and private company value creation meet better than Warren
Miller. Now he’s focused his extensive professional training and
real-world experience to produce this intellectually rich, yet
down-to-earth and fun-to-read road map we can all use. Business
owners and leaders, financial analysts, management consultants,
wealth managers, CPAs, business brokers, private equity investors,
business appraisers–no one should plan to increase the value
of an enterprise without Value Maps in their passenger seat.’

–David Foster, CEO, Business Valuation Resources

‘Private-equity analysts do not often come across scholarly and
technical professional reading laced with laugh-out-loud moments!
Yet this is exactly what one finds in Value Maps. Warren
Miller’s advice stems from his career as a finance executive, a
CPA, a valuation analyst, and a ‘recovering academic.’ With
pitch-perfect balance, Warren has created both a must-have
professional reference guide and a best-practices road map designed
to enhance the profitability of your client’s business and your
own–all in a very readable style with just a ‘spoon-full of
sugar.’ Enjoy the read!’

–Gary M. Karlitz, ASA, CPA, Partner-in-Charge, Valuation
Services, Forensic Services, and Forensic Accounting, Citrin
Cooperman & Company, LLP

‘Extremely readable, with numerous real-world
examples–valuation specialists who don’t read this book will
soon be looking for a new profession. Miller takes the term
‘valuation’ to new levels, suggesting that appraisers can indeed
add real value to their clients’ businesses. Clients should demand
that a valuation professional read this book before he or she will
be hired.’

–Alfred M. King, Vice Chairman, Marshall & Stevens,
Inc.
