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
