You Need Trusted Valuators Who Put People First

We exist to positively impact IT business owners’ lives, while exhibiting excellence in helping them realize their goals and dreams.

About Us

iT Valuations (iTV) has 12+ years of extensive experience in valuations, mergers, and acquisitions. With over 67+ completed transactions under their belt, iTV founder, Reed Warren, wanted to accomplish more. He knew what it felt like to be denied the full financial worth of his own business efforts. In fact, that’s why he founded iTV: he couldn’t stand watching the same thing happen to other business owners.

 

Reed started iTV to help owners reap the full value of a lifetime of investment in their companies so they could achieve their personal wealth targets and make the best decisions for their next stage in life. Never is this more apparent than when an owner needs to quickly sell and exit their company after receiving a serious health diagnosis. At the end of a long career, what these owners yearn for most is more time with the ones they love. These are the moments when our mission makes a difference. Fortunately, not all owners are dealt such a hand.

However, most business owners still face a myriad of business challenges when it comes to selling, buying, merging or transferring a partner. Most need solid advice, a guiding hand, a caring heart, and a team dedicated to helping them reach their goals after a lifetime of hard work. That’s iTV. That’s why we’re here.

Deanna Heil

Director of Operations

Deanna is our Director of Operations. With a unique educational background in Theology, she knows just how to educate and guide our clients down the right path to fulfill their goals. At first, she intended to go into teaching, but after having four children and an assortment of different careers, she worked her way up into Operations Management. Keeping the back office, systems, tools, and technology running for the iTV team is her top priority, ensuring that they can provide our clients the best customer experience. Her favorite things about working at iTV are the genuine care for team members and clients, the integrity behind all the company’s actions, and not everything is a competition; everyone is always looking out for one another. Deanna is known for her organizational skills, her ability to find new solutions that keep the client happy, her eagerness for new challenges, and her charming sass.

Outside of work, Deanna loves the outdoors, her children and grandchildren, and her faith. She admires her family for who they’ve grown up to be, and if she won the lottery today, she’d take them all on a well-deserved vacation. However, travelling isn’t a new experience for her – she once toured all over the US and Canada in a singing/drama team.
