Ideal Buyer

The ideal Buyer will be very experienced with all the services offered by the practice. The Buyer will be an LPA, or have a viable means to handle the assurance work of the practice (which currently makes up approximately 25% of overall revenue). The Buyer will also have strong general business knowledge, including experience and ability in managing and growing a team. While the market is broad, a Buyer who maintains and builds industry relationships will benefit from these strong referral sources. As a relationship builder, the Buyer will do well with the staff and team through a supportive yet trusting approach. Staff embrace professional development opportunities and are looking to grow with the practice. *Ideally the Buyer will have existing staff capacity to handle some current work of the practice, and also to take on the referrals and new inquiries which are often being turned away currently.

This is an excellent opportunity for many Buyer scenarios. This well-established practice is ideal for any Buyer looking to take on a practice of their own, and a Buyer who is looking to onboard a desirable client base and excellent team. Regardless of Buyer motivation, this practice offers outstanding and immediate growth opportunity – do not hesitate to inquire!
