Buying a Practice
Or Block Of Fees

This is the most cost effective way to create or enhance your client base. There can be very few business investments that are capable of giving you a 50% net profit with a payback period of under 2.5 years but worthwhile acquisitions are lost to the less adventurous accountant. And yet, if you respond to a practice being marketed, you are unlikely to be the successful buyer. You could wait years!
With good advice on buying fees, you can convert your investment within months.

Merging Your Practice

We've seen it all. Merging takes place for a variety of reasons, and with differing size firms. Two sole practitioners merge their business interests to increase their profits by enabling a more structured workforce to be put in place and by achieving economies of scale. Larger firms merge to create a bigger critical mass so that specialist added value departments may be established. Other firms are motivated by the need for succession. Whatever the reason, be aware, 50% of partnerships fail so 'compatibility' is the watch word.

APMA Clients

The size of the client's practice or block of fees is not important. Over a two year period Jeremy Kitchin was involved with identifying Foundation Firms for the £12M accountancy practice Consolidator, Vantis Plc., which floated on the alternative investment market (AIM) on May 1, 2002. In April 2003 he brokered the sale of Beavis Walker, the £2.8M London practice. On an earlier occasion he successfully handled the divestment of a block of £3,000 fees from a sole practitioner.
