Complex SecuritiesPurchase Price AllocationGoodwill & Intangible Impairment
After an acquisition closes, ASC 805 requires the buyer to allocate the purchase price across acquired tangible and intangible assets — customer relationships, developed technology, trade names — at fair value, with the remainder recorded as goodwill. The allocation shapes reported earnings for years through amortization, and it must withstand review by your audit firm's valuation specialists.
The firms ranked here are scored heavily on financial-reporting credibility: methodology rigor, documentation quality, and track records of allocations that pass Big 4 audit review without material revision.

Methodology
How firms are ranked
Each firm receives a score out of 100 built from five weighted components: verified client reviews (30%), professional credentials such as ASA, CVA, ABV, CFA, and MAFF (25%), the depth of services offered relative to the category (20%), the firm's operational scale (15%), and years in business (10%).
The score is refreshed whenever a review is approved or firm data changes, and overall ranks are recomputed on a schedule so movement reflects real changes, not noise. Within a category or service, we re-rank using the same score restricted to firms that actually offer that work.
Rankings cannot be purchased. Featured placement in the directory is clearly labeled and never affects rank.
