PTCFO Authors Articles On Corporate Governance

PTCFO, Inc., is a nationally known financial and management advisory firm that, for over 20 years, has established a reputation for deep knowledge of ESOPs, as well as competent crisis management, succession planning and corporate governance.

Among the articles PTCFO has contributed to this site, this one presents a comprehensive overview of the business life cycle, discussing the various stages in the life of a company from inception to death. As they grow and move away from their creative and free-wheeling beginnings, companies are forced to implement a scalable structure that will make an ever-larger business manageable. However, this structure can become overly conservative and bureaucratic, making it more difficult for the company to meet new challenges and adapt to changing circumstances, leading to stagnation and worse.

One of the specialties of PTCFO and its founder Jack Veale is finding ways for companies to reform their management in a way that will provide stability and a competent command structure, but at the same time retain flexibility and the capacity for change.

ESOP Engagements by Acclaro Valuation Advisors

Acclaro Valuation Advisors, an independent valuation firm that specializes in ESOP company annual stock valuation services among many others, has inaugurated the year 2013 by giving joint presentations at the Heckerling Institute on Estate Planning, an annual conference on estate planning held in Orlando, Fla., in mid-January. The presentations introduced and discussed the ESOP as an attractive alternative estate planning tool for business owners.

On Feb. 7, Acclaro advisor Robert Hicks will speak at a seminar organized by The National Center for Employee Ownership in Phoenix, Arizona. His contribution will include a discussion of various ways to maximize the incentivizing potential of management compensation, as part of a day-long workshop on best practices for S-corp ESOPs.

Acclaro and ESOP Marketplace are proud to start the year with continuing contributions to both the theory and practice of ESOPs.
