SOLD! Boutique Advice Based Accounting Practice For Sale

Dealing with high net worth clients and commercial businesses only this is not the normal run of the mill tax practice. The owner established this business in 1985 and most of the clients are now benefiting from very advantageous tax structures and pre 1999 Unit Trust structures linked to SMSF.

The practice has fees of close to $800,000 last year and forecasting similar in the current year for just over 100 clients including the following:

• 4 Partnerships
• 50 Individuals
• 20 Companies
• 30 SMSF

This business does not advertise and does not have a website. All new business is by referral only and the owner advises that he has been turning away work in recent years. There is opportunity for growth in this practice.

This would be an ideal opportunity for a larger practice to acquire a quality book of clients. Ideally the successful buyer would also have financial planning expertise to ensure continuity of the work and advice previously provided. The owner is at retirement age and selling due to health issues in the family however he understands he will be required to ensure a smooth transition of his clients over time.
