Evidence-led business valuations for tax, transactions and disputes
Independent, fixed-fee valuation reports for Australian business owners, accountants and advisers. Valuation is the only work we do, prepared by a valuer who has valued 3,000+ businesses.
Every fee published up front.
From a $990 indicative snapshot to a court-ready file, every Oliver Group report is a fixed price, ATO-aligned. No hourly billing. No surprises.
Australia’s lowest fixed-fee signed valuation — $1,495. Most signed reports elsewhere start at $3,990–$4,990, and most firms are quote-only. We publish the full ladder.

Fixed fees — complex or multi-entity matters are scoped to a fixed price in a 15-minute discovery call, never billed by the hour. The Indicative Snapshot is an indicative estimate only, not a signed valuation report. Competitor pricing correct as at July 2026.
How we form the position.
Evidence-led. Methodology-tested. Defensible.
Review the available evidence
Financial statements, ownership records, related-party transactions, contracts, industry data. We tell you exactly what we need and what is missing.
Test multiple accepted methodologies
Capitalisation of maintainable earnings. EBITDA and revenue multiples. Net asset. DCF where appropriate. The right methodology depends on entity, evidence and purpose.
Identify the valuation range
Across methodologies, with sensitivity analysis on the principal inputs. This is the supportable range the evidence allows.
Assess the commercial purpose
A CGT event, a restructure, a related-party transfer and a share buyback each have different evidentiary expectations. Purpose informs methodology — never the conclusion.
Identify the most supportable position
The position the methodology and the facts best defend. Where the evidence allows, this may be the favourable end of the range. Where the evidence requires, it may be the conservative end. Either way, the position must be supportable.
Document the reasoning
Methodology selection. Multiples chosen. Discounts applied. Evidence relied upon. Every input traceable in the working file.
State assumptions, limitations and rationale
Conservative where it matters. Specific where it counts. Designed to be defensible if reviewed.

What we get asked to value.
Selling your business?
Most Australian businesses put up for sale never sell. The ones that do belong to owners who knew their number, prepared early, and had buyers competing for them. That starts with an honest valuation.
Know your number
A free guided estimate, then an independent valuation. What the business is worth today — not a broker's appraisal designed to win a listing.
Get exit-ready
We show you what each preparation lever — owner dependency, recurring revenue, concentration — is worth to your price, and which to pull on your timeline.
Go to market prepared
When you're ready to sell, you go in knowing your supportable number. We're valuers, not brokers — the number does the arguing.
Standards we hold ourselves to.
Independent — not negotiable.
Our fees are fixed at engagement. Clients cannot influence the conclusion. The most supportable position is determined by methodology and evidence, not by what would be commercially convenient.
Methodology-tested.
Every engagement tests multiple accepted methodologies. The supportable range is identified before the position within it is concluded. The reasoning is documented in the working file.
Evidence-backed and supportable.
Every assumption, every multiple, every adjustment is documented in a working file we retain for at least ten years.
