Start with the facts FAIR can show.
This profile is useful as a registry lead, but the buyer should confirm scope, fees, and report requirements before outreach.
- Confirm specialty fit for the object category.
- Confirm the report purpose before comparing fees.
- Confirm the fee model is not tied to value or outcome.
- Confirm current availability, inspection method, and source details.
FAIR surfaces registry profile signals. It does not license appraisers, certify competence, certify reports, or guarantee outcomes.
- You need an appraiser who can serve Raleigh, NC or explain remote versus in-person inspection options.
- The registry specialty label says: Business Valuation, ASA. Treat it as a routing signal and confirm exact object fit before outreach.
- You can ask for non-contingent fee terms before sharing sensitive documents.
- Your report purpose can be stated up front: insurance, estate, donation, tax, litigation, lending, resale, or personal planning.
What this profile can tell you quickly
Still missing or confirm directly: public website/contact evidence, public fee statement, public USPAP education detail, public claim/authorized-control status
Correction/removal: request a profile correction or removal. Policy: complaints and corrections.
Local read
Mrs. Anna Townsend, ASA is an unclaimed FAIR profile for Raleigh, source checked 2026-05-29, with Cherry Bekaert Advisory LLC listed as the business name. FAIR lists Business Valuation and ASA in the profile name or specialty fields, but no website/contact evidence, service category, formal-use routing signal, fee language, USPAP education detail, or claimed profile control. Cherry Bekaert's public professional page identifies Anna Townsend as Partner, Valuation Services, at Cherry Bekaert Advisory LLC in Raleigh, with focus areas including Valuation Services, Financial Reporting Valuations (ASC 805/350/718), Mergers & Acquisitions, Transaction Advisory Services, Litigation Support, and Tax Compliance Valuations. The same page lists industries including industrial manufacturing, private equity, and professional services, shows an NC CPA license number, and lists professional involvement with the American Society of Appraisers, AICPA, NCACPA, and the Association for Corporate Growth Raleigh/Durham Chapter. Treat this as a business-valuation and transaction/tax/litigation valuation lead, not a furniture, antiques, fine-art, jewelry, household-contents, estate-sale, or general personal-property appraisal lead without direct confirmation.
Source-backed fit is clearest for business valuation, financial reporting valuations, purchase-accounting or impairment work, M&A and transaction advisory, litigation support, tax compliance valuations, private equity, industrial manufacturing, and professional-services company contexts. Current evidence does not support furniture, antiques, estate contents, fine art, jewelry, or household personal-property routing.
Before outreach, confirm whether the assignment concerns a business interest, equity or ownership interest, financial-reporting valuation, M&A transaction, tax compliance, litigation support, or another company-level valuation purpose. Ask for intended users, reporting standard, valuation date, governing documents, financial statements, fee terms, and current report-standard or USPAP education details.
