Selling Accounting Practices
You’ve worked hard to build your business, and now you’re considering selling your CPA, accounting or tax practice. You need a firm that combines experience with expertise to help value your business, make the sales process move smoothly, and net a strong, competitive sale price. Naab Consulting is much more than an accounting business broker; when you choose us to represent you in selling your CPA practice, you gain the following advantages:
We Offer a Customized Marketing Package
We analyze each accounting and tax practice for sale and determine the most efficient ways to advertise the sale of your business. We market your practice by advertising in trade journals, newsletters, our website and direct mail, as well as through many other successful methods that have helped us to build our large database of prospective buyers. We immediately email all prospective buyers in our database who have expressed interest in CPA, accounting and or tax practices for sale. Other firms say they have buyers, and then try to find them. Not Naab Consulting. We’ve spent years developing, evaluating and building a serious buyer base.
We Save You Time
You can continue to manage your practice and maintain billable time while your accounting or tax practice is for sale. We handle the marketing inquires and screen buyers for acceptability. Our efforts exceed those of other accounting business brokers. We introduce you only to those potential buyers who have passed our pre-qualification and are serious about buying an accounting practice.
We’re Confidential and Discreet
Your employees, clients and competitors do not need to know that you are merging or selling an accounting practice. During the entire time your accounting or tax practice is for sale, our staff guards your confidentiality. No one will call your office without your authorization. We have signed confidentiality agreements on all prospective buyers before we discuss any CPA, accounting or tax practice for sale in any specific detail. Your name and your firm’s name are not disclosed until we have confirmed that we have a serious buyer who would like to meet with you.
We Bring Practice Valuation Expertise to the Table
We are aware of current market conditions nationwide, and that knowledge helps generate the best price and terms when selling accounting practices. We make sure that there is no money left on the table. After hundreds of successful transactions, we have the experience necessary to close the deal.
We Promote Your Business and Screen Potential Buyers
Through our marketing initiatives, we make potential buyers who are interested in your area aware that a CPA, accounting or tax practice is for sale. Then we qualify those who inquire, obtain or update a signed confidentiality agreement, and determine if they are a suitable match to continue discussions. It is a tremendous advantage to you in selling your accounting practice that we disclose information about your practice only when we have determined the seriousness of the buyer and not before. Again, on average, only 5-10 percent will qualify to meet you. The other 90-95% never knows who you are because they are not serious or don’t qualify to buy.
We Pre-Qualify Potential Buyers
Every buyer who is interested in CPA, accounting and or tax practices for sale through Naab Consulting must sign a confidentiality agreement and be pre-qualified by our firm. We only show you the most capable buyers. Our experience over the years has shown us that, out of a possible one hundred buyers, only a small percentage are either qualified or serious. We eliminate a large portion, protecting your confidentiality and saving your valuable time.
We Negotiate For You
We follow up with the prospective buyers to determine their interest in buying an accounting firm. You should not negotiate directly with the buyers, as this can weaken your bargaining position. Our process prevents personalities, emotions and stress from interfering with good business decisions. Naturally, you make all final decisions, but we execute them for you.
We Offer Buyer Financing Assistance
We can help the buyers obtain assistance in financing an accounting practice—especially with funding for the down payment at closing. This provides the buyer with adequate cash to support his or her investment. This also provides you with a sizable down payment at closing to ensure the buyer is serious about buying your CPA firm.
