QuickValue™ was created in 2021 by Reed Phillips to help owners and executives of midsize companies discover the value of their businesses. Phillips has developed a revolutionary approach to valuation.

Rather than hire third party advisors to determine what your company is worth, Phillips provides a framework for figuring it out on your own, or with limited assistance from an advisor.
