Money market funds held as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were valued by the Company based on quoted market prices, which represent a Level 1 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The carrying values of the Company’s accounts receivable, unbilled receivables, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities. There were no transfers into or out of Level 3 during the periods presented.

The Company’s recurring fair value measurements using Level 3 inputs related to the Company’s contingent consideration liability as the significant inputs to the valuation are not observable in the market. The Company determined the fair value of the contingent consideration liability using a Monte Carlo simulation model. Changes in the fair value of the Company’s contingent consideration liabilities were as follows (in thousands):
