50 Year Established West NC CPA Firm
Business Description
This is a premier opportunity to acquire a highly reputable CPA practice with a 47-year operating history and deeply embedded community relationships in Western North Carolina. The firm demonstrates exceptional stability, boasting a 95% annual client retention rate and a diversified revenue stream across bookkeeping, payroll, and tax services, with no single client exceeding 10% of total revenue. Financially robust, the practice reached $837,015 in gross revenue for 2025 and is offered at an asking price of $957,000, representing immediate profitability from day one. The sale includes an established client list, goodwill, and fully equipped office assets, with the current owners committed to a thorough transition—one owner is available through 2026, while the other is open to long-term employment under new ownership.
