Assess M&A Readiness and Enhance Competitive Advantage

M&A Transition Assessment

 

Before you pursue a sale or merger for your accounting firm, it’s essential to understand where you stand and what it will take to achieve a successful outcome. Our Transition Assessment provides an objective, situational analysis designed for CPA firm leaders preparing for change.

 

We evaluate:

  • Timing and realistic timelines

  • Firm performance, profitability, and partner metrics

  • Competitive dynamics and market positioning

  • Internal capacity and infrastructure for integration

 

The study helps firms develop a clear profile of their attributes, set strategic priorities, define the characteristics of an ideal target, and identify actions to capitalize on marketplace advantages. It also outlines a structured process to pursue a potential acquisition or combination with a well-defined target firm. The assessment offers valuable orientation and preparation for a focused outreach effort, designed to maximize the effectiveness of practice merger and acquisition opportunities.
