Elizabeth Acland

I am a Valuations Partner at BDO, specialising in providing valuations to private and public companies for a range of uses. I have a particular focus on valuations for financial reporting purposes with my core areas of expertise being intangible assets and purchase price allocations, impairment reviews and portfolio valuations for private equity firms.

I work with a variety of clients including private equity firms, listed and private entities, helping them work through their valuation requirements. My time in valuations has taught me that a valuation is often needed at a difficult or (sometimes) stressful time. This may be a shareholder dispute, a potential sale or the year-end audit process. I am proud to provide a valuation service that gives my clients confidence that they have the full picture and that I am taking pressure off them.

I am a huge advocate of being yourself, especially around bringing your own authentic and genuine self to the workplace. I am also extremely dedicated to bringing out the best in others to encourage them to achieve their full potential through mentoring and coaching. My experience to date has enabled me to develop such that I understand a variety of viewpoints, communications styles and work ethics. I care deeply about individuals, communities and society at large, and focus energy towards others betterment, supporting our BDO values in many ways.

I am a high energy person so I cannot say I switch off fully, but to wind down and recharge from a mental standpoint I regularly take part in CrossFit and/or Hyrox workouts, jog and walk my perfect pooch. I enjoy spending time with my husband and son, often getting out by taking part in various outdoor activities. I absolutely love travelling to different places, whether that be a city break, a hiking trip or exploring somewhere further afield like Thailand or Vietnam.
