Complete Conversations with the Masters Library on YouTube

Find our complete collection of QuickRead Conversations with the Masters series on YouTube.  Over the past year or so, NACVA has taped interviews with more than a dozen of the most interesting industry personalities on some of the most important consulting topics.  Follow the links to see if you’ve missed any episodes.  And watch for more video from us soon!

QuickRead’s Conversations with the Masters video series focuses on industry pioneers in business valuation and financial forensics.  These experts are often known to us primarily for the presentations they give, the organizations and task forces they drive, and the articles, books, and resources they’ve developed.

Conversations with the Masters offers a different focus, one you might not get in highly-polished keynotes and industry best-sellers.  In Conversations with Masters, you’ll  hear unique insight on the professional challenges valuation analysts face today, unvarnished perspective on theory and practice management, and pointers on where some of today’s greatest professional opportunities lie.  Click on each name to see each associated video:
