We are pleased to announce the recipients of CBV Institute’s 2024 Awards & Honours. Please join us in congratulating the following individuals and celebrating excellence in the business valuation profession!
FCBV Honours
The CBV Fellow designation, known as FCBV, was created to recognize CBVs who have brought distinction to the business valuation profession and achieved recognition, both professionally and in their communities. It is the highest designation the Institute confers.
In 2024, CBV Institute welcomed one more Fellow. We are pleased to announce that Richard Crosson has been admitted by CBV Institute’s Board of Directors to receive FCBV honours. Congratulations, Richard!

I am so happy and honoured to receive my FCBV designation. It’s such a special milestone in my 35-year journey as a business valuator. Through shifting roles and firms, my constants have been family, friends, and my community of CBV peers. What a wonderful way to conclude the professional chapter of my life story and start the next one.

It’s an immense privilege to receive the 2024 Top CBV Under 40 Award in memory of David Cornfield, CA, CBV.
Like many CBVs, I stumbled across the business valuation profession rather than having it mapped out in some master plan. Looking back at the thirteen years since I discovered the designation, I couldn’t be happier with the things I’ve learned and the people I’ve met, none of which would have been possible without the help of the CBV Institute and its passionate Members. My unconventional path to becoming a CBV and being recognized by my peers with this Award speaks to the strength of the CBV community, a group of professionals dedicated to business valuation excellence across increasingly diverse practice areas.
To my family, friends, colleagues and clients – thank you! No matter how big or small, favourable or adverse, I truly appreciate your contributions in shaping my professional journey

I am truly honored and grateful to be the recipient of the CBV Institute’s Ambassador of the Year Award for 2024. It has been a privilege to be part of the various committees developing and promoting the CBV profession by organizing topics, finding/selecting speakers for the Connect Annual Conference and webinars, and selecting papers for the Research Task Force. In addition, I have been honored to act as a judge for the Business Valuation Case Competition Challenge to build and foster relationships with students at the university level. I am grateful to be a part of the CBV community which has provided me with personal and professional growth, and I look forward to continuing to contribute in the future.
