We are proud to share that Shivam Jadeja, CPA/CGMA/ABV, ASA, CFE, Director and leader of BKHM's Forensic & Valuation Services practice, has been recognized by Forbes as one of America's finest CPAs — an honor that reflects not only his individual excellence but the caliber of work our entire team is committed to delivering every day.

The Forbes Best-in-State CPAs recognition highlights CPAs with impressive track records in their specialties who have broken barriers to emerge as leaders in their fields, contributed to advancing the CPA profession, and given back to their communities. The selection process involves a rigorous, multi-stage editorial review — and no fee or payment of any kind is required for consideration. That kind of integrity in the process makes the recognition all the more meaningful.

A Career Built on Expertise and Trust

Shivam is a Forensic CPA and credentialed Business Appraiser with more than 19 years of diverse professional experience spanning both private industry corporate finance and accounting, as well as expert witness and consulting services for forensic and valuation litigation support.

He has served as an expert witness for financial and accounting matters in both state and federal court and arbitration proceedings, and has performed forensic accounting services across a wide range of matters including investigations of suspected fraudulent conveyances, receiverships, bankruptcy and insolvency, marital dissolution, shareholder and contract disputes, and economic damage evaluations.  His analyses have supported clients in both criminal and civil actions — work that demands not only technical precision but steady, trustworthy judgment under pressure.

On the valuation side, Shivam has issued business valuation reports for federal income, gift, and estate tax; litigation; transactional; and financial reporting purposes. It is a breadth of work that few practitioners can match.

Credentials That Speak for Themselves

Shivam holds an impressive array of certifications that underscore his depth of expertise. His credentials include Certified Public Accountant (CPA) licensed by the Florida State Board of Accountancy, Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE), Accredited in Business Valuation (ABV) from the AICPA, Chartered Global Management Accountant (CGMA), and Accredited Senior Appraiser in Business Valuation (ASA) from the American Society of Appraisers. He is also a trained Collaborative Family Law Professional — a reflection of the human dimension he brings to even the most complex financial matters.

What This Means for Our Clients

This recognition underscores Shivam's leadership in the profession and provides clients with confidence in his ability to deliver reliable, expert valuation services.  For businesses navigating disputes, litigation, ownership transitions, or high-stakes financial decisions, having a nationally recognized forensic CPA and business appraiser in your corner makes a real difference.
