This is very Good stuff and one that is good for freedom of speech. It is nice to know that there is a platform where appraisers can vent or even rant on issues other than the appraising of real property. This certainly can help to broaden the horizon of appraisers.

“Why investment banking?” is not only one of the most common questions in interviews but also one of the most incorrectly answered ones. An older version of this article from ~15 years ago addressed this question, and you can find dozens of other articles that suggest answers. But most coverage suggests generic answers about wanting to learn a lot, liking financial analysis or valuation, or wanting to “understand different industries.

The old adages that "cash is king" and "you can’t spend profits" still hold true today. But however well-known these sayings might be, it requires a change in mindset to properly implement a cash flow management system that predicts your business's runaway as accurately as possible. Key to this new mindset is understanding the difference between the Statement of Cash Flows, a historical look at the source and uses of cash, and the Cash Flow Statement, which uses transaction history and forward-l

Many business owners, in small and large firms, don’t really focus on their balance sheet. They look at their profit and loss and, if they’re making a profit, they think ‘everything’s fine’. From our experience, the balance sheet of a business is often the key to its success. This is because a healthy balance sheet is often the key to being able to withstand shocks ; it gives financiers the confidence to support your business with additional funds when things are tight.

In reply to John Baron. Do you actually believe in the fairy tale that corruption is only on one side and not the other? Parroting mainstream media does terrible things to the mind. You’re confusing or conflating the difference between bias and effective judgments which human beings apply in every day activities because we are human. Again; appraisers as a group have never been biased in the ways we are accused of being.
