Darryl Boyd on Preparing for an Accounting Firm Sale, Transition, and Client Expectations – Podcast

Since joining Poe Group as a Regional Market Leader, Darryl has been an integral part of the team. Listen in on our conversation discussing the ins and outs of guiding buyers and sellers through the transition process. Discover what makes for a smooth transition and why preparation is integral to the acquisition process. 

This podcast touched on: 

  • Preparing for a smooth accounting firm transition.
  • Identifying your personal and professional goals and knowing when is the right time to sell your CPA firm.
  • Losing the assumptions that may be holding you back from providing your clients with the services they are hungry for.

Learn why looking at your bookkeeping or accounting practice the way a buyer would can help you identify what you may be taking for granted in your practice. Identifying and losing your assumptions can help you to better serve your clients and recognize where your greatest opportunities are. Building the practice you want could mean niching down, building a referral network, or reconsidering what the right business model is for you.
