Accountancy Practices for Sale
The practices shown here are those currently on the market. At any given time, I'm also in confidential conversations with owners who are weighing their options. Most sale processes start well before anything is signed. Buyer interest in well-run practices is rarely the problem; I usually have it. What matters is how that interest is managed: buyers qualified, confidentiality protected, and the process handled so clients and staff are never unsettled. That's why the listings below show only what they need to, with full information provided under a confidentiality agreement to qualified purchasers.
If you own a practice and are thinking about your options, I'm happy to have a confidential conversation about buyer demand, market appetite, and how a process could be run when the time is right. I also represent selected premium businesses, some of which are marketed privately and may not appear publicly on this page.

Auckland Accounting Franchise — Two Established Branches
A high-performing SBA franchise business with strong recurring fees, proven systems, and consistent earnings across two Auckland locations.
Asking Price: Confidential — contact Greg to discuss
Yes, this is a franchise. Now consider these numbers. 86% recurring fees. Normalised earnings of approximately $557,000 after allowing for an owner's salary. Fourteen years of trading, and a position among the top performers in a national network.
An independent practice with the same fee base would typically earn materially less. The franchise structure is why the margins are what they are — proven systems, national partnerships, and structured workflows supporting efficient service delivery to a compliance-focused client base of SME owner-operators and rental property investors.
The franchisor requires the purchaser to be a qualified accountant with recent public practice experience, operating as an owner-operator. The business must be run separately from any existing practice the purchaser owns. The vendor is committed to an orderly handover and available to support an agreed transition.
Further information is available to qualified purchasers following completion of confidentiality requirements.

Client relationships are well spread throughout the practice, providing continuity and reducing reliance on one individual.
The vendor is open to remaining involved for an agreed transition period to support continuity and assist with a smooth handover for clients and staff.

The practice has a strong local reputation, a loyal and diversified client base, and consistent financial performance.
