Ideal buyer

While this practice would be a tremendous opportunity for a CPA, the practice does not require a CPA buyer. However, public accounting experience with owner-managed businesses and the requisite bookkeeping and tax work that is part of serving this clientele is a must. An ideal buyer will also have strong general business knowledge and experience managing a team of employees. The firm’s clients are familiar with a very high level of integrity and quality work; the new owner will have the capability and personality to continue to build on these existing and new relationships. The firm has a positive culture and strong employee engagement; the new owner will have the ability to delegate work while providing efficient and effective support to foster this team environment. A growth-minded buyer will be able to further develop the firm’s reputation and capitalize on the many opportunities that exist within the firm.
