They have options when it comes to selling. And the farther ahead they plan, the better deal they’ll create for themselves. Here today to talk with me about what he sees happening right now in the buying and selling of CPA firms is my guest Brannon Poe, owner of Poe Group Advisors. Highlights: — “Firms that have a large number of personal tax, not associated with a business, tend to have higher staff turnover, higher tax season hours, lower cash flow to owner.” — “Staffing is changing the accounting profession faster than anything. Because of staffing changes, people are having to make difficult pruning decisions.” — “Accounting firms are the slowest to change models.
