Entrepreneur

Already during his studies in business administration at the University of Mannheim from 1987 to 1992, Andreas Creutzmann worked as an independent financial adviser to high net worth private clients. From 1992 to 1999 he worked as a public accountant and tax consultant at an international audit firm, latterly as an authorised officer (Prokurist).

1999

IVA VALUATION & ADVISORY AG

On 6 December 1999 Andreas Creutzmann founded IVA VALUATION & ADVISORY AG Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft, which began operations on 1 January 2000. He has led it as Chairman of the Management Board since its formation. Since 2001 IVA has performed valuations exclusively: companies, intangible assets, real estate companies and real estate. It does not generally offer other services typically provided by audit firms. It was therefore the first German audit firm specialised exclusively in valuation. Offices in Frankfurt, Hamburg, Landau and Speyer.

EACVA e.V.

In 2005 Andreas Creutzmann founded EACVA e.V. together with academics and valuation professionals, and is its Chairman.

Today the association and the Certified Valuation Analyst are established across Europe, the association has some 1,300 members from more than 20 countries, more than 1,800 valuation professionals have completed the CVA training courses, the courses are fully booked, and large companies send entire teams.

2026

IVA DIGITAL ASSET GmbH

In February 2026 Andreas Creutzmann founded IVA DIGITAL ASSET GmbH together with IVA VALUATION & ADVISORY AG and Julian Creutzmann. Its managing director is Julian Creutzmann. The company values digital assets, develops tools for that purpose and advises companies on AI-supported digitalisation.

„It is the one task which I believe would not happen without me. Much of what I do, others could do as well. But few people combine 35 years of valuation work with an association of international reach. And the curiosity is the same as at the beginning. Only the subjects change.“
