About Jia Wu, ASA
Founder of Monument Valuations
I’m Jia Wu, an Accredited Senior Appraiser (ASA) and founder of Monument Valuations, with more than a decade of experience in valuation consulting. I established Monument Valuations to provide insightful, high-touch valuation services grounded in depth, clarity, and integrity.​
​
​My expertise spans the valuation of closely held businesses, intellectual property, financial instruments, and fixed assets. I’ve led engagements for estate and gift tax planning, financial reporting, fairness opinions, strategic transactions, and ESOP compliance — always with a focus on analytical rigor and practical guidance.
​
Prior to founding Monument Valuations, I held senior valuation roles at firms including Marshall & Stevens, SingerLewak, and Globalview Advisors. I’ve advised clients across industries and bring both technical depth and industry perspective to every engagement. I’m also a frequent moderator at valuation conferences and continuing education events, where I engage with industry leaders and share valuable insights.
​
Currently, I serve as a Valuation Consultant at John Staurulakis, Inc. (JSI), a national leader in broadband and telecom consulting. At JSI, I provide valuation and financial consulting services to rural communications providers, supporting fair value, fair market value and market-based analyses, transaction structuring, and industry research.
​
In addition to my professional work, I serve as the Business Valuation Chair and Chapter Administrator for the ASA NorCal Chapter, where I lead digital strategy, support community engagement, and help grow the chapter’s visibility within the valuation profession.
