CPA Firm

Mountlake Terrace, Washington

Business Summary: Well established, full service, accounting firm. Established in 2008, this firm specializes in bookkeeping, payroll, strategic planning, and tax services. The business is about 85% bookkeeping and 15% tax services, thus creating an excellent and steady cash flow for the business. The current owner works less than 10 hours per week and has a part-time assistant who does the majority of the work. The current owner uses JetPack Work Flow to remotely review the work. This business can easily be run from home or from just a small suite. The current owner must sell due to taking over another company, in another field, and he does not have the time to devote to this business anymore. There has been virtually no promotion by the Seller for a long time – he has relied upon word of mouth and referrals from Bankers and attorneys. The new owner could easily increase the business by networking with more bankers, attorneys, larger CPA firms (who do not want to do the bookkeeping for their clients), and payroll services. This is an excellent platform for a beginning CPA or an excellent addition to an existing firm. Seller is willing to finance the buyer with 50% down – 3 year term – at 6% interest.
