Building value in a business and helping the owners retain and eventually distribute that value requires careful planning, attention to detail and special expertise.

Claren O'Bannon knows business owners often need a valuation for gift and estate planning in order to help them retain their assets for their families rather than transfer them to the government.

Claren's attention to detail and persistence have served her many clients well in properly and accurately valuing family limited partnership interests and assisting clients in following through with the plans jointly established with their other advisors.

If a business owner is looking to expand his or her business or take on new owners, a forecasted financial statement is a powerful selling tool to attract needed lenders and investors, allowing potential investors to see how the money they invest will grow into profit.

Claren is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the Missouri Society of CPAs and a candidate member of the American Society of Appraisers. She is a graduate of Truman State University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting and a Masters in Accountancy.
