Whether you need to understand what your business is worth, secure financing, prepare a funding-ready business plan, or navigate a business purchase or sale, Acadia Hill provides the financial analysis and advisory support to move the process forward.
Based in Winnipeg, we work with business owners across Manitoba who need clear answers and practical advice — not generic templates or boilerplate reports.
Who we typically work with
Owner-managed private companies across Manitoba who need a defensible number, a credible plan, or experienced advisory support at a pivotal moment in their business.
Most clients come to us through accountant and lawyer referrals, or when they’ve realized the situation calls for something more rigorous than an internal estimate.
What Acadia Hill offers
Valuations are the technical core of what we do for Winnipeg and Manitoba businesses — but we work across the full range of financial decisions that business owners face.
Business Valuations (CBV Standard)
Our CBV-standard business valuations are built for the situations that matter most — selling your company, buying one, settling an estate, satisfying a lender, or resolving a dispute. We produce defensible, court-ready reports that hold up to scrutiny and give you a number you can use with confidence.
Machinery & Equipment Appraisals (Financing, Insurance & Sales)
When you need to know the fair market value of machinery, vehicles, or other capital assets — for financing, insurance, a sale, or financial reporting — we deliver accurate, documented appraisals that satisfy lenders and auditors. Fast turnaround, clear methodology.
Business Plans
A business plan that secures financing needs more than a template. We build plans around your actual numbers and goals — investor-ready, lender-ready, and clear enough that you’d be comfortable presenting it yourself. Startups, expansions, acquisitions, and franchise applications welcome.
Transaction Advisory
Buying or selling a business involves more moving parts than most owners expect. We provide the financial analysis, structuring advice, and due diligence support to help you negotiate from a position of knowledge — whether you’re on the buy side, the sell side, or somewhere in between.
Common reasons clients contact us
Most clients contact us when an important financial decision requires clear numbers and defensible analysis. We work with business owners at some of the most consequential moments in their company’s life.
- Selling or buying a business
- Estate freezes and shareholder buyouts
- Equipment financing or insurance valuations
- Preparing a business plan for bank financing
- Strategic planning before a major business decision

Why Acadia Hill
CBV-Credentialed Valuations
Business valuations vary enormously in quality and defensibility. Our reports are prepared to CBV standards — the same standard used in litigation, estate administration, and institutional lending. That matters when the number is challenged.
We Work Across the Full Transaction Lifecycle
Most firms do one thing. We do the work that surrounds a transaction from start to finish — valuation, business planning, equipment appraisal, and advisory. That’s useful when your situation doesn’t fit a single service box.
Local Specialists, Not a Branch Office
We’re not a satellite location of a national firm staffed with rotating juniors. We’re a Winnipeg-based team with direct partner involvement on every engagement. You’ll work with the same person from the initial call to the final report.
Industries we work with
We work with owner-managed businesses across Manitoba. Valuations are completed for businesses across Manitoba in construction, professional services, manufacturing, and more.
Construction & Trades
Equipment-heavy operations, shareholder loans, and strong cash flow — common scenarios we value regularly.
Professional Services
Firms with goodwill, partner compensation, and client concentration require disciplined normalization.
Manufacturing
Inventory, capital assets, and multi-entity structures often require early valuation involvement.
Retail & Distribution
Inventory valuation, lease considerations, and owner-operator compensation adjustments.
Healthcare & Allied Health
Patient lists, restrictive covenants, and regulatory context all factor into healthcare valuations.
Other Owner-Managed Businesses
If you run a private company in Manitoba and face a financial decision, we can likely help.
Valuations, business plans, and advisory — from one Winnipeg firm
Acadia Hill is a Winnipeg-based advisory firm serving Manitoba businesses across four core disciplines: business valuations prepared to CBV professional standards, business plans built for lenders and investors, machinery and equipment appraisals, and transaction advisory for purchases and sales.
Our work is used by lenders, lawyers, and business owners making significant financial decisions. Whether you need a defensible valuation, a funding-ready business plan, or guidance through a transaction — we provide the analysis and advice to move things forward.
If you want clear answers from people who understand the local market, we should talk.

What happens when you contact us
Most engagements start with a short conversation to understand your situation and determine whether our services are the right fit.
If we’re not the right fit, we’ll tell you that too.
Initial conversation (15–30 minutes)
We’ll ask a few questions about your business and the situation you’re facing — whether that’s selling a company, seeking financing, preparing a business plan, or understanding valuation requirements. No obligation, no sales pitch.
Clear scope and fixed-fee pricing
If we can help, we’ll outline the work involved, the timeline, and the fixed fee before anything begins. Most engagements are completed on a fixed-fee basis once scope is defined — no surprises.
Professional analysis and deliverables
Our team completes the analysis, prepares the required documentation, and walks you through the results so you understand exactly what they mean for your decision.
Questions we hear most often
How much does a business valuation cost?
Fees depend on the report type, complexity of the business, and the purpose of the valuation. A straightforward owner-managed company typically starts well below what large national firms charge for the same work. For a detailed breakdown, see our business valuation cost page.
How long does a valuation take?
For a straightforward private company with organized records and responsive management, most files are completed in two to four weeks. More complex structures, multiple entities, or delayed document delivery can extend that timeline.
When do lenders require an equipment appraisal?
Most commercial lenders require an independent equipment appraisal when machinery or capital assets are being used as collateral for asset-based lending, refinancing, or equipment financing. Insurance renewals and business sales also commonly trigger appraisal requirements.
Do you work with accountants and lawyers?
Yes — a significant portion of our work comes through accountant and lawyer referrals. We coordinate directly with your advisors to ensure the valuation or report aligns with the transaction timeline and intended use.
