As a Chartered Financial Analyst, Mr. Martin benefited from over a decade of institutional wealth management as both a securities analyst and portfolio manager. This background greatly contributes to his thoughtfulness when considering the value of a business. It also provided the experience of having invested hundreds of millions into the businesses he valued.

The specialized training he acquired in becoming a Chartered Business Valuator (CBV) in Canada and a Certified Valuation Analyst (CVA) in the USA, enables him to offer valuation services to business owners or legal counsel in both Canada and the US.

After graduating from Ridley College,  Mr. Martin received a bachelors degree from Princeton University in 1993. Since then, his dedication to the valuation profession is reflected by his standing as a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) and former board member for the CFA Society Toronto; a Certified Valuation Analyst (CVA) and member of the National Association of Certified Valuators and Analysts; a Chartered Business Valuator (CBV) and member of The Canadian Institute of Chartered Business Valuators; and certification as a Financial Modeling & Valuation Analyst (FMVA).

Mr. Martin completed the Canadian Securities Course and Canadian Options Course, and was previously registered with the Ontario Securities Commission as a trading and advising officer, discretionary portfolio manager, and ultimate responsible person for an investment firm based in Toronto.
