Maximize net after-tax cash when you sell your accounting practice.
We quietly and confidentially create buyer competition.
More buyers, more offers, more options, and elite results.

Here’s what you can expect when you work with us:
Confidentiality
Industry Expertise: Sunbelt Business Advisors and True North Mergers & Acquisitions closed over 50 transactions in the accounting and tax industries since 2020.
A Complimentary Value Range that outlines a market-based sale price and transaction structure including to-be-sold and excluded assets.
A Marketing process designed to drive multiple written offers from qualified buyers This outlines a market-based sale price and transaction structure including to-be-sold and excluded assets.
- Create marketing materials including NDA, business narrative and financial summaries.
- Buyer Financing – Some buyers have their own financing but many do not. Sunbelt Business Advisors and True North Mergers & Acquisitions proactively selects a bank lender for each transaction. Most accounting firm sales are bankable, which then results in more net-after-tax cash to Seller’s at closing.
- Buyers compete in a professional, time-based process. The goal is to obtain multiple written offers that comprehensively define the material economics of the transaction, then to close the sale based on those economics.
- Real Estate – Whether the real estate is owned by an affiliate or an unrelated third-party, the buyer of the business may need to control the real estate. We discuss options.
- 90 Day Guaranty – We guarantee you that we will generate 10 buyer inquiries for your business in the first 90 days of marketing. If we do not, you can terminate your agreement, no questions asked. No other broker makes this promise.
Clear communication throughout the sale-to-closing process. We streamline this complicated process through proactive decision-making and timely, intelligent work. Once we have an offer, we:
- Work with Sellers through buyers due diligence investigation.
- Work with Seller’s attorney to close the transaction.
