Tax Preparation and Accounting Firm
A Long Island tax preparation and accounting practice, offered together with the building it operates from.
Business Highlights
- Tax preparation and accounting services from an established Long Island office
- The operating building is included and sold in the same transaction
- Margins are strong, with owner earnings representing a substantial share of revenue
Considerations / Questions to Ask
- The seller material is unusually thin. Client count, retention and revenue mix all need establishing directly.
- What credentials must the buyer hold to serve this client base, and is the owner a CPA or EA?
- How much of revenue is seasonal tax preparation versus year-round accounting work?
- The owner will not hold a note, so the deal needs full funding at close. How is the building valued within that?
- How much of the client relationship is personal to the owner after years of practice?
Opportunities
- Tax preparation renews annually without being resold, which is among the stickiest revenue in professional services
- Buying the building converts rent into equity for an owner-operator
- Year-round advisory and bookkeeping smooth revenue that is otherwise seasonal
- Accounting practices in established suburban markets are consistently in demand from consolidators
