The ClientWise Valuation Calculator is an online tool that provides a directional estimate of your financial advisory firm’s enterprise value based on key financial and operational inputs.

It is designed for benchmarking and strategic planning purposes.

The calculator provides a directional estimate using limited inputs. It is useful for understanding potential value ranges and benchmarking against industry drivers.

It is not a substitute for a formal business valuation, which includes detailed financial normalization, qualitative assessment, and compliance-ready documentation.

No. The calculator provides a high-level estimate.

A formal valuation includes:

• Detailed financial analysis
• Market comparables
• Risk assessment
• Leadership and succession evaluation
• Documentation for compliance or lending

The calculator helps you understand where you might stand. A formal valuation supports decision-making.

The calculator evaluates factors such as:

• Revenue size and mix
• Profitability
• Growth rate
• Client demographics
• Leadership structure

These inputs align with key drivers that influence enterprise value in the wealth management industry.

Your estimate can help you benchmark your firm and identify potential value gaps.

For transaction planning, succession, internal ownership transfers, or compliance purposes, a formal valuation report is recommended.
