✒ What does it take to be a valuation practitioner? My previous boss Spencer Tse sums it up nicely:

“While some people will say valuation is an art rather than a science, to do a proper valuation, valuation practitioners need to have financial and accounting knowledge, a fair understanding of the business being valued, a little bit of tax knowledge, some modelling skills, and some understanding of valuation techniques for different types of assets. They must be open minded, interested in continuous learning, have an analytical mindset and good communication skills. They should also be interested in understanding the investment world and capital markets.”
