How To Sell An Accounting Business

Sell An Accounting Business

To sell an accounting business, the main question for your buyer is going to be “How transferable is the client base?”. Systems are also important. Your best buyer often comes from within the firm. Choose employees who might one day mature into a buyer for your business.

The type of client that the business has will also determine value for an exiting owner. The more substantial the clients in the client base, the greater value the business will have.
