PFK Singapore is the local arm of PKF International, a global network of audit, accounting, and advisory firms. 

They eventually grew their advisory wing to cover business valuation and restructuring—meaning they also handle intangible assets, M&A support, and more. 

I saw they work with all sorts of clients, like small local busin

esses, multinational corporations, including firms getting ready for IPOs. 

Once they understand your situation, they’ll use traditional methods like income, market, and cost approaches, following International Valuation Standards. 

They also take into account financial performance, company outlook, and the broader business environment, which I feel a lot of clients would appreciate.

The people who’ll guide you throughout are Chartered Valuers and Appraisers, with senior roles often holding CVA certification. Being part of PKF’s global network gives them credibility and reach. 

One thing to note: they’re pretty swamped with work, so they may not be able to respond immediately.

Cushman & Wakefield is one of the big names I’ve heard of in business valuation. 

They’re part of a global firm with operations in over 60 countries, and they’ve racked up tons of certifications—ISO 55001 for Asset Management, Quality, and Business Continuity Standards.

Not to mention, their team also has the qualifications to back them up, including valuers with SISV, CVA, ICVS, and ACCA credentials.

They work with everyone from REITs and government agencies to small business owners, offering valuations for companies, intellectual property, and purchase price allocations, among other services.

The firm utilises market knowledge, extensive resources, professional experience, and local and international reach. 

I was also impressed with their cloud-based platforms, which allow multiple experts to collaborate on the same report, making their process more accurate.

However, they’ve faced some scrutiny for using non-standard valuation methods, like “Total Net Value.” This has raised questions about transparency in high-stakes cases.

Valtech Valuations stands out for not taking the usual route to valuation services. 

They focus on complex and innovative sectors (tech, crypto, and such) using advanced financial modelling tailored to each industry. It’s clear they don’t do cookie-cutter valuations.

I found their team impressive, featuring PhDs, CFA charterholders, CPAs, MRICS surveyors, and CVA-certified valuers. They even hold ISO 9001:2015 certification, which is rare for local firms, showing their commitment to quality management. 

Valtech also publishes detailed methodology whitepapers and analytical resources, which make their approach transparent and research-driven.

Their services cover a huge range, including business valuations, transaction advisory, private equity portfolios, derivatives, ESOs, tokenisation, mining, and biological assets. 

I definitely noticed their niche, innovation-heavy focus may feel over-engineered for traditional valuations, but for high-growth or complex sectors, they’re seriously in a league of their own.

Savills has been around locally since 2004, building on the legacy of Savills plc, a real estate advisory firm founded way back in 1855. 

While many know them for real estate, their valuation wing has grown to cover businesses, corporate entities, and even intangible assets like intellectual property.

What I find interesting about Savills is how they approach valuation. They really tailor their methods depending on the client—publicly-listed companies, GLCs, multinationals, or SMEs. 

They combine global Savills data, local market knowledge, and standard valuation techniques to give practical, accurate advice for things like M&A, IPO preparation, or financial reporting.

The team is solid, too. You’re looking at Chartered Valuers and Appraisers (CVA), Chartered Accountants (CA), and other accredited professionals. 

While their expertise is top-notch, it’s still tied to real estate. So if you need a valuation outside property-heavy businesses, you might notice it’s less specialised than some other firms.

Eqvista is a firm that’s carved out a niche helping startups and private companies navigate the tricky world of equity and valuations. 

They’ve handled over 50,000 valuations, with around US$3 billion in assets valued every month, so their scale and experience are impressive.

They owe their reputation to their teams, which includes NACVA-certified valuation analysts, CFA charterholders, and IRS Enrolled Agents. This means their work follows strict regulatory and professional standards. 

The company sticks to the classics, too: asset-based, income (DCF), market comparables, and backsolve—while tailoring everything for fast-moving 409A valuations.

But what makes them unique is their Real-Time Company Valuation software. I’ve been told that it lets companies model projections, run multiple scenarios, and update valuations quickly, which is great for startups with frequent funding or equity events. 

That said, they don’t have a physical office in Singapore, which may make them harder to access.
