BURLINGTON, Mass., May 12, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- True Value: What Financial Advisors (and Other Professionals) Should Know About Business Valuation by Dr. Sara Stolberg Berkowicz and Dr. Stan Feldman, published on Amazon.com, is now available as an e-book or in paperback. This announcement highlights the imperative for private business owners and their advisors to be prepared for the expected ownership transition tsunami over the next 10 years, as many thousands of baby boomer-owned businesses will need to be sold or transferred.
"Drawing on my experience as both a professor and practitioner in financial planning, I discovered a recurring challenge: after years of dedicated service, financial advisors often lose business-owner clients' assets to other professionals once their companies are sold," says Dr. Berkowicz." In my experience, financial advisors optimize the value they bring to their clients when they understand the nuances of business valuation," says Dr. Feldman. This book offers actionable insights and up-to-date strategies, teaching financial advisors how to leverage knowledge of business valuation concepts to maximize the selling price of their clients' companies, earning their trust and loyalty throughout the process.
Sara Stolberg Berkowicz, Ph.D., CFP® is an associate professor and department chair at the College for Financial Planning, specializing in the areas of retirement, divorce financial planning, and money psychology. Sara earned her Ph.D. in Personal Financial Planning from Kansas State University.
