Testimonials

Practice Owner from Dallas moves to Italy
"I recommend Accounting Practice Sales to anyone selling their practice. Before we knew about APS, we tried to sell our business ourselves and weren't successful. That actually turned out to be a good thing. In just a few days APS had three buyers waiting and we ended up getting about 35% more than we had been asking! My wife and I were comfortable turning our clients over to the new owners. Things couldn't have gone better. Now we're planning on moving to Italy to pursue a new dream." Eric M., CPA Dallas, Texas

Perfect Match for Monterey EA
"Thank you so much for your help with the sale. You and Jake were always available for any questions either the buyer or I had and you made the process as painless as possible! You found the perfect buyer at the right price and the transition has been wonderful! She and I think alike - in another life we'd be perfect business partners!" Diane S., EA Monterey, California

Philosophy Works for Us
"We chose Accounting Practice Sales because of your reputation for selling firms at high multiples, as well as for your philosophy that high quality firms should sell with cash deals. You came through on both counts - well done! These three areas of APS's philosophy: fair pricing, cash terms and quick transition were key for us and I believe that they were also fair to the buyers. We have stayed in contact with the buyers and I believe they are quite satisfied with the outcome also. All in all, it's hard to imagine a better outcome." Bill B., CPA Hilton Head Island, South Carolina

Satisfied Buyer in Houston
"The purchase worked out very well for us, so well, in fact, that we are monitoring your e-mails for another practice that might fit in with us. We are continuing to grow the old-fashioned way but I know several ex-Anderson associates that can come help us." Guerry D., CPA Houston, Texas

Quick Sale in Florida
"I faxed my information on Tuesday at 4:30 pm. The next day I had a call and an appointment with a buyer on Thursday morning. We closed and signed papers five days later." Richard H. Pohokee, Florida

Finding the Right Person
"Gary Hankins called me after a particularly difficult tax season. One of my main fears was finding the right person to take care of my clients. However, Gary was able to bring 4-5 good prospective buyers so I could have a choice. I would refer others to APS because of his outstanding support, encouragement and wise counsel." Diana W., EA Phoenix, Arizona

Confidentiality Concerns for Seller
"I was concerned with the potential problem of confidentiality in the process of selling my practice. However, Kathy Brents assured me that she had the same standards as I had in my profession. Things went very well. Kathy was so professional." Martha F., CPA Morrilton, Arkansas

Unique Situation in the Midwest
"I had used Accounting Practice Sales in the past but was worried about my present situation. We wanted to split up the tax and accounting and only sell a portion. Bob was able to promote the value of the split and we finally found a buyer who wanted just the tax business. I was happy with the results and especially the sales person." Bruce P., EA Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin

CPA Buys a Practice in Miami
"It has now been one year since you helped me buy my practice. I just wanted to tell you that it has been a great year. My billings have doubled and that office has been a gem. I cannot express enough how grateful I am to have met both of you." Francisco A., CPA Miami, Florida

Small Practice
"I am sure this sale is one of the smaller transactions in your practice, but I just wanted to say thank you anyway. Without your assistance I probably would not have had the success that we have accomplished the past several months. Thank you for the service rendered." Donald Y., LPA, EA Kalona, Iowa

Negotiation Woes
"APS and Brannon Poe were the solution I was looking for in selling my practice. After listing with another broker for over a year, Brannon located a well qualified buyer within one month. When negotiations got tense, Brannon's advice was on the mark. I would heartily recommend Brannon Poe" Scott S., CPA Raleigh, North Carolina

Making the Financing Work
"Anything can happen when you initiate the sale of your business! I am sure glad APS was there to pick me up when I thought all was lost. SBA can really make you jump through hoops. With years of experience dealing with similar transactions, Roy Braatz had a trick up his sleeve for every obstacle SBA put in front of me. I would definately use him again!" Tom C., CPA Mill Valley, California

Satisfied Oklahoma CPA
"Gary Holmes kept in contact with me for over four or five years waiting for me to decide to sell my business. I was concerned about the money, of course, but I wanted to sell to somebody that would provide service to my existing clients. We were able to overcome both of those concerns. I was very satisfied." Richard H., CPA Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

Recommendations
"Thanks a lot for the work you have done. You did a great job in finding a buyer and I have already recommended you to two other firms in town who are thinking about selling." Douglas H., Livingston, Montana

Extra Mile in Las Vegas
"Gary Hankins was always careful about protecting the firm name. He priced the practice and we came close to the price in spite of my time frame and circumstances. He was helpful and went the extra mile to consider and follow the seller's wishes. I can't say enough about how great he was!" Constance L., CPA Las Vegas, Nevada

California EAs get All-Cash
"We didn't know where to find a buyer! A local firm made an offer but we really didn't want to be tied to the practice through an earn out arrangement. The call from APS came just in time and, as a result, we were able to sell for all cash and retire care free." Dale and Mary F., EAs Napa, California

First-time Virginia Buyer
"As first-time purchaser of an accounting practice, I found my experience with APS to be a very positive one. Brannon was very knowledgeable regarding financing issues for purchases. He was very timely in responding to my data requests within the guidelines set by the confidentiality agreement. I highly recommend APS to those contemplating a practice purchase or sale." C. C. H., CPA Mathews, Virginia

Happy Fort Meyers Seller
"You answered all my questions, found multiple qualified buyers and everything was handled in a professional manner. Well done!" Lora-Lynn C. Fort Meyers, Florida

Educated in Texas
"Besides giving me an education and handling details I had not anticipated Gary provided numerous qualified buyers, most of whom met my parameters. I can't think of anything more he could have done." Richard L., CPA Houston, Texas

Buyer Finds Perfect Match
"Kathy took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for in a firm and worked hard to find it.  My wife and I were able to find the perfect match.  kathy knows the business, knows the territory and knows how to work with people.  She was a pleasure to deal with and I would recommend her to anyone trying to buy or sell a practice." Blake & Kate C., Little Rock, Arkansas

Lots of Qualified Buyers Out West
"Initially, I was overwhelmed by the number of qualified respondents within 2-3 days of listing with APS. After receiving and accepting one of the Full Price offers, it was less than 60 days to closing! There is no way I could have achieved the same results without the assistance of APS. Thank you!" Douglas M., Salt Lake City, Utah
