E. N. Kemp & Associates, Inc. was formed in 1982 to provide financial
and investment consulting services. For more than twenty-five years,
the firm’s president has assisted numerous clients with various
financial plans and problems, developing considerable expertise in certain
specialized areas of professional practice.
BUSINESS
VALUATION
For several years, E. N. Kemp & Associates provided business valuations
on an exclusive basis for clients of two of Honolulu’s respected
CPA firms. Those exclusive arrangements were terminated in 1995. Business
valuations and valuation consulting services are now offered directly
to clients of all CPA firms, to clients of numerous law firms and bank
trust departments, and directly to business owners and others needing
those services. During the last few years, more than three hundred business
valuations have been completed. Valuation reports were prepared for
estate and gift transfers, purchases and sales of business interests,
employee stock ownership plans, divorce, and various other purposes.
The size of business interests valued has ranged from minority interests
in small partnerships to controlling interests in large corporations
with subsidiary companies.
VALUATION CONSULTING
E. N. Kemp & Associates offers a wide range of valuation consulting
services. For example, valuation consulting services have been provided
during the formation, expansion, sale and dissolution of corporations
and other business entities. The president of E. N. Kemp & Associates
is one of only a few CPA’s in Hawaii to hold the significant designation
for CPA’s specializing in business valuation and valuation consulting
services, ABV (Accredited in Business Valuation). The president also
holds the designation of CBA (Certified Business Appraiser) from the
Institute of Business Appraisers and the designation of CFF (Certified in Financial Forensics) from the American Institute of CPAs.
