Virtual CPA Practice, 38-Year Tax & Accounting Firm (Relocatable)

Full Editorial Writeup

This is a 38-year-old virtual CPA practice built on tax preparation, compliance, and payroll services for a diversified client base. The firm serves roughly 417 individual tax clients, 300 business clients (corporations and partnerships), and 43 trust/other clients, with an average individual tax fee near $1,120. The virtual, relocatable operating model means the buyer inherits the client relationships and workflow rather than a lease or physical footprint tied to Teton County, Wyoming.

The economics are attractive on paper: $900,000 in gross revenue converting to $572,000 in SDE, a 64% owner-earnings margin that is characteristic of a well-run, low-overhead solo CPA practice. The catch is concentration risk. The listing shows a single full-time employee, which means the departing CPA is the practice, and the durability of the earnings depends entirely on how transferable those client relationships are to a successor.

What makes this notable is the combination of long tenure, sticky tax and compliance work, and a semi-retirement seller willing to stay on for a few years alongside one key employee who intends to remain long term. That structure gives a buyer a real runway to absorb the book, get client-facing during at least one full tax season, and re-sign the base before the seller fully steps away. Accounting practices are among the most recession-resilient service businesses because tax filing and compliance are non-discretionary regardless of the economy.
