DescriptionThis is a premier opportunity to acquire a highly reputable CPA practice with a 47-year operating history in Haywood County, North Carolina. Since 1978, the firm has grown entirely through word of mouth — no marketing. Clients come to them.
The practice operates in the stable, recession-resistant public accounting market of Western North Carolina, backed by 47 years of reputation and a loyal client base. The firm serves 1,000+ active clients with a 95% retention rate and a diversified revenue base across bookkeeping, payroll, and tax services.
Growing year over year, the practice reached $837,015 in gross revenue for 2025, with Seller's Discretionary Earnings of $487,686. The asking price is $957,000 — a 1.72x SDE multiple.
The staff is experienced and long-tenured. Partner #1 is committed to a smooth transition before retirement. Partner #2 is willing to stay on full-time long-term at the new owner's discretion. This creates the potential for true absentee ownership — a buyer could acquire a fully operational, cash-flowing practice with an experienced operator already in place who knows every client.
The sale includes an established client list, goodwill, and fully equipped office assets. This profitable, turnkey practice is perfectly positioned for a seamless handover to a qualified buyer.
