Ideal Buyer:

The ideal buyer will have the heart of a teacher, showing that they are prepared to pay attention and provide outstanding customer service. They should be located close to SW Charlotte or be open to moving. A buyer within a one-hour radius of SW Charlotte would only need to commute a couple of days a week.  The buyer should have a solid foundation in tax and accounting and at least five years of experience in public accounting. Since the owner now spends 40 to 50 percent of their time interacting with clients, this position would benefit greatly from a personable candidate who pays close attention to detail. The current owner has done a good job of building a long-term and loyal staff. A new buyer would be wise to keep a family-first approach to managing employees.
