Reasonable Compensation 2010

Book excerpt: This one-stop information Guide helps practitioners whenever employee-owner compensation is subject to review and adjustment. In all private companies, an expense that is discretionary to the owner in terms of size, timing and payment method may represent not only compensation for services rendered, but also disguises dividends or profit distribution. The valuation of a business could be greatly affected by owner's compensation, or the lack thereof. This book is also an invaluable resource when valuing non-compete agreements or calculating personal vs. enterprise goodwill. If you purchased all these reports individually, the cost would be over $600.
