For acquirers

Acquire Accounting Firms — and Close with Certainty

We work with serious buyers who already have funding in place and are ready to transact.

Our role is simple: source the right firms, remove noise from the process, and help you close cleanly — often within 90 days.

You’ll only see opportunities that fit your criteria, with sellers who are motivated, informed, and prepared to move forward.

No tyre‑kickers. No broken processes. No wasted time.
