Ideal Buyer

The ideal Buyer will be a CPA with strong experience in the services provided by the Practice. One of the owners is open to the possibility of staying on in a working type arrangement with the Buyer – this owner is an LPA which could allow the LPA work to be maintained by the practice for a non-LPA Buyer (Buyer to confirm). Alternatively, the Buyer will need to be licensed, or have a plan for the LPA work (5 reviews, 12 audits) which makes up ~16% of overall revenue. The Buyer will also have experience managing and growing a team, particularly a Buyer looking to take advantage of the growth opportunities available for the practice. A strong relationship builder will do well with the existing clients, and also new clients seeking the services offered by the practice. A tech-savvy Buyer has the opportunity to bring further efficiency and value into the practice through the technology options available to practice owners today. This is a rare and excellent opportunity for many Buyer scenarios including an established practice looking to onboard a desirable client base and a strong team, or a Buyer looking to move into ownership and begin with a well-established turn-key practice and excellent growth opportunities.
