Opportunities:
- Increase Capacity: The Buyer will want to have existing staff capacity or be able to bring in one additional staff or partner to best handle the recent growth and also the anticipated ongoing growth ahead.
- Additional Services: While the practice currently offers high-demand services, a Buyer could layer in additional related services that the current and future client base may need. The owner notes that some clients and new inquiries have asked about cross-border tax.
- Expansion of Existing Services: The current service lines are the most high demand, with most small businesses requiring these accounting services. Further business development targeting small businesses with these needs is highly likely to maintain or exceed the current growth rate.
- Marketing: As a cloud practice, an online presence is key. The owner has implemented some high ROI marketing initiatives that the Buyer could continue with, and additional marketing options are available for a growth-focused Buyer who would want to scale the practice at an even faster pace.
