A valuation is not just a number. It is the foundation of your negotiating position, tax strategy and transaction planning.
Quinn M&A provides business, company and share valuations for private business owners, shareholders and acquirers across the Australian mid-market. Our valuations are prepared with commercial rigour, technical discipline and real transaction context — not estimated by a generalist.
Senior-led by Michael Quinn and supported by an integrated specialist team, our valuation work brings together financial analysis, legal awareness, tax sensitivity and real-world deal judgement. That matters when a valuation is being relied on for a sale, acquisition, dispute, restructure or tax matter.

Grounded in real market knowledge, not theoretical modelling alone.
Sales, acquisitions, restructures, tax matters, disputes and shareholder decisions.
Michael Quinn leads the work, supported by specialist team capability.
The quality of a valuation can shape the quality of the decision that follows.
A valuation often becomes the anchor point for negotiation, shareholder discussions, tax planning, structuring decisions and litigation strategy. If that anchor is weak, the decision-making around it tends to weaken as well.
At Quinn M&A, valuation work is treated as a form of judgement — not just calculation. That means looking beyond financial statements alone and considering the commercial realities that influence value in private markets.
One advisory relationship. Stronger alignment between value, structure and outcome.
Most firms can produce a valuation. Far fewer can connect that valuation properly to transaction structure, legal execution, tax implications and shareholder outcome.
Quinn M&A occupies a rare position in the Australian mid-market. Michael Quinn is both a Chartered Accountant and a Solicitor, supported by a specialist team across M&A, valuation, tax, structuring and transaction execution — chartered accountants, solicitors and tax specialists working alongside the lead adviser. That's not just a credential story. It's a structural advantage when the valuation is going to influence real commercial decisions.
Valuations built for the decisions clients are actually making.
Valuation work rarely stands alone. It supports a commercial, tax, shareholder or legal decision — and the quality of the valuation shapes the quality of that decision.
Transaction planning
For owners preparing for sale, acquirers assessing opportunities, or parties evaluating merger or restructure scenarios.
Shareholder matters
For share transfers, minority interests, partnership issues, succession planning and shareholder realignment.
Tax & structuring
For tax-related decisions, restructuring, estate planning and matters where value needs to be defensible and properly supported.
Disputes & formal matters
For litigation support, expert witness work, family law matters, insurance claims and dealings with lenders or courts.
A clear, defendable process from scope to report.
Disciplined advisory work, not a procedural checklist.
Clarify the purpose
We begin by understanding why the valuation is needed, who will rely on it, time constraints, and the specific legal, commercial or evidentiary context that applies.
Define scope & engagement
We confirm the scope of work, likely methodology, information requirements, timeline and engagement terms so expectations are clear from the outset.
Gather & test information
We review financial and non-financial information, disclosures, records and management context — and identify any constraints or assumptions that may affect the work.
Research & analyse
We analyse performance, risk, market data, industry context, comparable evidence and the commercial realities that influence value in private transactions.
Apply the right methodology
We select and apply the valuation approach best suited to the circumstances — earnings-based, market-based or discounted cash flow methods where appropriate.
Deliver a defendable report
Our reports are designed to be clear, well-reasoned and defensible — with assumptions, methodology and logic explained in a way clients and relevant stakeholders can understand.
