Public-Sector Accounting Practice w/ Long-Term Subcontracting Revenue
Business Description
Specialized Accounting Practice with Long-Term Clients
A licensed CPA practice based in Dallas, TX is available for acquisition, offering a compelling entry point into a specialized corner of the professional accounting market. The firm has carved out a defensible niche providing audit support services to larger accounting and professional services organizations that serve governmental and public-sector clients. With the majority of revenue tied to multi-year contractual arrangements that carry strong renewal histories, the business offers a level of revenue predictability uncommon in small professional practices.
The service mix is anchored by audit support work, which accounts for the lion's share of annual billings. Tax preparation, advisory, and general accounting services round out the offering and provide a secondary revenue stream with additional growth potential. The firm operates as a subcontractor to prime professional services firms, a model that keeps client acquisition costs low and leverages existing institutional relationships built over many years.
Day-to-day operations are lean and efficient. A core team handles billable production work and administrative functions, keeping overhead manageable relative to revenue. The practice currently operates from a modest leased office used primarily for client-facing and administrative purposes, with much of the work performed remotely. A qualified buyer will need to hold or obtain a CPA license, as state licensing requirements mandate CPA oversight of the firm.
The seller is retiring after a long career and has expressed genuine flexibility regarding deal structure and transition support. A new owner can expect up to three years of post-sale assistance covering client relationship handoffs, contract transitions, staff orientation, and operational knowledge transfer. The seller believes that with the right buyer in place and existing staff retained, the business could transition toward a semi-absentee management model within approximately twelve months.
Growth opportunities are readily identifiable. Expanding individual and small business tax services, deepening relationships with additional prime contractor firms, and leveraging the existing infrastructure to take on greater capacity are all realistic near-term paths. Recent contract activity further supports a solid foundation from which a new owner can build. This is a well-positioned acquisition for a CPA professional seeking an established book of business with contracted revenue, a trained team, and a motivated seller committed to a smooth handover.
