Will a 409A valuation hold up in an audit?

A defensible 409A uses AICPA-guideline methodology, a human-reviewed report, and someone who can answer questions about how the number was set. 409A.io is built for that standard at $99/month on a 12-month term, with an audit-ready report within 48 hours of receiving your documents.

What do auditors look for?

Auditors and diligence teams typically review the method, the supporting analysis, and whether a qualified reviewer signed off before delivery. Every 409A.io report is reviewed by a valuation professional from the MELD team. Direct auditor support is included.

409A.io was spun out of MELD Valuation. MELD has completed 10,000+ valuations across 20+ industry sectors, valued $250B+ in assets, and has zero audit issues across its history.
