Real Numbers From Real Analysts
We track what matters. Our team handles valuation work across different industries in Taiwan's financial sector, and these stats reflect actual cases we've worked on through 2024 and early 2025.
Numbers don't lie, but they need context. Below you'll find insights from our analysts who specialize in valuation techniques—people who've spent years refining their approach to financial analysis.
Meet The People Behind The Analysis
Eamon Gallagher
Senior Valuation Analyst
Eamon joined us in 2019 after working in Dublin's tech sector. He specializes in DCF models and brings a practical approach to complex valuations. His work focuses on helping Taiwanese tech startups understand their worth.
Tarja Nieminen
Equity Research Specialist
Tarja moved from Helsinki to Taipei in 2021. She's particularly skilled at comparable company analysis and often works with manufacturing clients who need straightforward valuation insights for M&A discussions.
Our analysts don't just crunch numbers. They spend time understanding business models, talking with management teams, and considering market conditions specific to Taiwan's economy. That context matters when you're trying to determine what something's actually worth.
How We Actually Work With Clients
Every valuation project starts with a conversation. We need to understand what you're trying to accomplish—whether it's raising capital, planning an exit, or just getting a realistic sense of value.
Most of our work in 2025 has involved mid-sized companies in New Taipei City and surrounding areas. These aren't massive corporations with finance departments. They're businesses that need reliable analysis without corporate overhead.
Initial Assessment
We start by reviewing your financials and understanding your industry position. This usually takes a week. No fancy presentations—just an honest look at what we're working with.
Model Development
We build custom models based on your specific situation. Sometimes that's a straightforward comp analysis. Other times we're doing precedent transactions or building out multi-year projections.
Review Process
Before finalizing anything, we walk you through our assumptions and methodology. You should understand how we arrived at our conclusions. Questions are expected—encouraged, actually.
Our Core Valuation Methods
We use three primary approaches depending on what makes sense for your situation. Each has its place, and sometimes we combine them to triangulate a reasonable range.
Discounted Cash Flow Analysis
This is where we project your future cash flows and discount them back to present value. It requires making assumptions about growth rates, margins, and risk. We're conservative here because overly optimistic projections help no one. Works well for established businesses with predictable revenue.
Comparable Company Method
We look at how similar companies are valued in public markets. Then we adjust for differences in size, growth, and profitability. This approach grounds valuations in real market data rather than theoretical models. It's particularly useful for Taiwan's manufacturing sector where we have good comp sets.
Precedent Transactions
What have similar companies actually sold for? This method examines real M&A deals to establish valuation ranges. We maintain a database of transactions in Taiwan and adjust for market conditions, deal structure, and timing. Useful when you're considering a sale or acquisition.
Client Perspectives
We asked a few clients to share their experience working with our team. These are their words, not ours.
We needed a valuation for investor discussions and didn't want something pulled from a template. The team spent time understanding our business model and market position. Their DCF analysis gave us a defendable range we could actually use in negotiations.
CFO, Electronics Manufacturing
I'd worked with other analysts who just plugged numbers into models. These folks asked questions about our growth plans, competitive position, and risks we faced. The final report reflected our actual situation rather than generic industry assumptions.
