Sell Your CPA firm to Dimov Tax

Unlike private equity firms or large consolidators, we operate as a business built by owners who understand day-to-day operations. Preserving your firm’s identity, client trust, and internal culture is central to our approach. We maintain existing locations, support employees, and prioritize continuity rather than disruption. There are no brokerage fees, no sudden pricing changes, and no short-term extraction goals. Our focus is on stewardship—continuing your work responsibly and with the same principles that made it successful.

How do you sell your CPA firm without losing clients & staff?

If you want to sell your CPA firm ownership, the details naturally go far beyond tax returns. It is retainers, work-in-progress & payroll and prepaid software along with strict client data rules. A sale can simply touch every line item. That is where our acquisition and advisory experience step into picture.

Do you sell your CPA business?

Our team is ready to collaborate & buy CPA firms. We stand active in maintaining and growing the business through the handoff. Dimov Tax values real relationships and data-driven decisions. Our primary target is a deal you can explain to your team and your top clients.

Who is a good fit for a sale?

You are a quality CPA partner candidate for us if you have quality services & a good reputation in the community you serve. CPA sellers generally reach out for the reasons outlined below:

  • Retirement without a successor
  • Capacity limits during peak season
  • Administrative overload that pulls your productive time
  • A partner transition that requires a fresh structure
  • A desire to lower personal risk while preserving income

How do we value your practice?

Before you sell CPA firm, we review revenue quality & retention and delivery risk. Dimov Tax focuses on reviewing the amounts. After that, we test what keeps those amounts steady. Initially, we take the following items into consideration:

  • Client mix, pricing and collection history
  • Service cadence and renewal habits
  • Staff depth, training and role coverage
  • Workflow reliability, from intake to delivery
  • Upside that comes from cross-selling, covering the ability to sell tax services during the year
