ClarityBV is the only firm in Michiana dedicated exclusively to independent business valuation services. Michiana is a region in north central Indiana that includes South Bend, Mishawaka, Elkhart, and Goshen.

Principal Valuation Specialist

Brian M. Alwine, CPA, ASA

Brian is an accredited senior appraiser (ASA) in business valuation, one of only 20 in Indiana. He has appraised more than 400 business interests in many industries, including automobile dealerships, investment and real estate holding companies, manufacturing, wholesale distribution, professional services, and retail businesses, among others.

Brian's parents either did something right or something very wrong, as his two sisters are also CPAs. He received the Emerging Leaders Award from the Indiana CPA Society in 2010.
