Business Description
Business Overview
Long-established CPA practice serving individuals and small businesses throughout Central New York. Decades of continuous operation have produced a deep, loyal client base that renews year after year with minimal marketing spend. Revenue is stable and predictable, driven by annual tax preparation work supplemented by bookkeeping and advisory services.
The firm operates with four full-time staff year-round, expanding to seven full-time and three part-time employees during tax season. This is a fully staffed, systematized practice rather than a one-person book of business dependent on the owner’s personal capacity. A buyer steps into an existing team, established workflows, and client relationships that are already handled at the staff level, which materially reduces the transition risk that typically accompanies the purchase of a professional services firm.
The seller is a licensed CPA and is willing to remain with the practice through a defined transition period to introduce clients, transfer institutional knowledge, and support continuity of service.
Real Estate
The real estate is available as part of the transaction on negotiable terms.
Ideal Buyer
This is a turnkey opportunity for a licensed CPA seeking to acquire an established practice rather than build one from scratch, or for an existing accounting firm looking to expand its footprint in the greater Syracuse market. New York State licensing requirements apply to ownership of a CPA practice.
