“We continue to deepen the valuation skills we have at CohnReznick to stay ahead of our clients’ increasingly complex transactional and financial reporting needs,” Brad Hirsch, partner and valuation advisory services practice leader at CohnReznick, said. “With the valuation of so many businesses needing to account for the machinery, equipment and other assets vital to their operations, having strong machinery and equipment valuation expertise at CohnReznick is essential.
