The Institute of Business Appraisers ( IBA) has been selected as the exclusive distributor for the Guide to Property Tax Valuation and the Guide to ESOP Valuation and Financial Advisory Services, Second Edition Published by Willamette Management Associates
Fort Lauderdale, Florida (March 2009) – The Institute of Business Appraisers has been named the exclusive distributor of Willamette Management Associates Guide to Property Tax Valuation and the Guide to ESOP Valuation and Financial Advisory Services, Second Edition, which are the latest additions to the catalog of valuation textbooks authored by the team of Robert Reilly and Robert Schweihs, managing directors of the business valuation firm of Willamette Management Associates.
The Guide to Property Tax Valuation will be of interest to both experienced property tax valuation professionals as well as those less experienced in the complicated arena of valuation for ad valorem property tax purposes. This book provides the valuation analyst the much needed and current insight for industrial and commercial taxpayers, corporations, the legal profession, state and local government taxation authorities, and regulatory agencies to follow. There are not many books of this type out in the marketplace making this edition a valuable asset for anyone looking for clarification on the many issues related to ad valorem taxation.
The Guide to ESOP Valuation and Financial Advisory Services, Second Edition expands and updates the discussion of current employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) stock valuation and financial adviser issues that were in the first edition. “The ESOP arena has significantly changed since the first edition of this book,” said Willamette principal Mike Hartman, the firm’s ESOP practice leader. “This edition focuses on the practical issues facing ESOP professionals today rather than just discussing the theoretical aspects.”
“We at IBA are thrilled to welcome Willamette to our family of publishers,” said IBA’s Marketing and Sales Analyst Grace Clarke. “Willamette’s impressive collection of business valuation books has been a constant in the industry for years.”
These books may be purchased for $59.95 each plus shipping and handling from IBA’s website at:
