We are a small business and received A1 advice and support from Simon acting as an expert consultant to the directors in relation to a misleading and deceptive conduct matter.

Valuation are not a formulaic exercise where the number pops out at the bottom. A good valuer needs insight and the ability to interpret the nuances of the commercial situation. They also need resilience and integrity to make an objective call and not be influenced by external pressures. Simon Cook has all these attributes and is one of Australia’s most experienced and qualified Business Valuers. Unlike most technical specialists, he is able to communicate complex issues with clarity and turn the complex into the understandable.

Simon provided expert witness evidence in a matter that brought about a decision in our client’s favour for damages in a body corporate management rights dispute. His analysis is of the highest calibre which led many to say “where did you get this guy from”. I was extremely lucky to have been introduced to Simon and I highly recommend him to anyone requiring forensic accounting services
