5.0 out of 5 stars Great book to help you buy a practice, December 12, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Successful Practice Sales: The Complete Guide to Buying, Selling or Merging Your Accounting, Consulting or Tax Practice (Paperback)
I would definately recommend this book if you are interested in either buying or selling an accounting or tax practice. Being business advisors ourselves, we feel we already know a lot about buying and selling businesses - which we do. However it is a wise investment of your time and money to read this book to discover the nuances associated specifically with a CPA practice. After reading this book and attending an online webinar put on by Pro Horizons - I retained one of their consultants - Chuck Hayes - to assist me in evaluating different practices for sale. Chuck has been great in helping me decide on a practice and we are in the latter stages of acquiring a practice.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book! Really Helpful!, September 16, 2009
This review is from: Successful Practice Sales: The Complete Guide to Buying, Selling or Merging Your Accounting, Consulting or Tax Practice (Paperback)
Reading this book was a launching point for me in buying a CPA practice this year. John was the broker who I worked with in buying a CPA practice. John was very helpful and the insight he provided in this book was very helpful as well. John and Ken used their knowledge base gained from personal experience to really outline what a successful practice sale entails, for both the seller and the buyer. If you are looking to buy a CPA practice, this book will help delineate and streamline the major issues and challenges that are presented in the practice purchasing process. I couldn't imagine buying a CPA practice without reading this book.
