Terms & Conditions
IMPORTANT — PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of www.sellcpafirm.com (the "Website") and any services provided by SellCPAFirm.com ("we," "us," or "our"). By accessing this Website, submitting an inquiry form, or engaging with our services in any way, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use this Website.
Note: SellCPAFirm.com operates as a direct buyer and acquisition advisory firm. We acquire CPA, tax, and bookkeeping firms directly or facilitate their sale to qualified buyers within our network. We are not a general business listing platform.
1. Who We Are
SellCPAFirm.com is a Texas-based firm that specializes in the acquisition of CPA practices, tax firms, bookkeeping businesses, and related accounting service firms across the United States. We operate in a dual capacity:
-
As a direct buyer, acquiring accounting firms for our own portfolio; and
-
As an M&A advisor, connecting firm owners (Sellers) with pre-qualified third-party buyers within our buyer network.
When you submit your information through our Website, you are initiating a confidential inquiry that may result in a direct offer from us or an introduction to a qualified buyer in our network. No transaction is guaranteed by the act of submitting an inquiry.
2. Eligibility
This Website is intended for use by:
-
Owners of CPA firms, tax practices, bookkeeping businesses, or accounting-related firms who are considering a sale or transition of their practice ("Sellers")
-
Professionals seeking general information about the practice sale process
By using this Website you represent and warrant that:
-
You are at least 18 years of age
-
You have the legal authority to represent and make decisions on behalf of the firm you are inquiring about
-
All information you provide to us is accurate, complete, and not misleading
-
You are not submitting an inquiry on behalf of a competitor for intelligence-gathering purposes
3. Our Role as Buyer
SellCPAFirm.com may make a direct acquisition offer for your CPA or accounting firm. When acting as a direct buyer, the following applies:
-
Any offer we make is non-binding until a formal Letter of Intent (LOI) or Purchase Agreement has been signed by both parties
-
We conduct our own due diligence prior to finalizing any acquisition, including review of financial records, client lists, staff arrangements, lease obligations, and operational details
-
We reserve the right to withdraw, revise, or decline to make an offer at any stage of the process prior to the execution of a binding agreement
-
Our acquisition offers are made in good faith based on the information you provide. Material misrepresentation of your firm's financials, client retention, or operations may result in termination of any agreement and potential legal liability
-
Closing timelines are estimates only and may vary based on due diligence findings, financing, and legal review
4. Our Role as M&A Advisor
When we act as an intermediary connecting you with third-party buyers, the following applies:
-
We will introduce your firm only to buyers who have been pre-screened and have executed a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA)
-
We do not guarantee a sale, a specific price, or a specific closing timeline when acting as an advisor
-
Our advisory services are provided at no upfront cost to Sellers. Our compensation structure will be disclosed in a separate engagement letter or listing agreement signed prior to any active marketing of your firm
-
We act in the interest of facilitating a fair transaction for both parties. However, Sellers should obtain independent legal and financial advice before executing any purchase agreement
-
SellCPAFirm.com is not a licensed securities broker-dealer. Our services relate exclusively to the sale of operating accounting businesses and do not constitute securities transactions
5. Confidentiality
We take confidentiality extremely seriously in all transactions. By submitting an inquiry, you acknowledge and agree to the following:
-
All information you share about your firm — including but not limited to revenue, client base, staff, pricing, and operations — will be treated as strictly confidential
-
We will not disclose that your firm is for sale to any third party (including prospective buyers) without your prior written consent
-
Any prospective buyer introduced to your firm will be required to execute a Non-Disclosure Agreement before receiving any identifying information about your practice
-
You agree not to disclose the terms of any offer, letter of intent, or negotiation to third parties without our written consent, except to your own legal or financial advisors who are themselves bound by confidentiality
Breach of confidentiality by either party may result in irreparable harm for which monetary damages may be inadequate. Both parties agree that injunctive relief may be sought in the event of a breach.
6. Seller Representations and Warranties
By submitting information about your firm, you represent and warrant that:
-
You are the legal owner or authorized representative of the firm described in your inquiry
-
The financial and operational information you provide is accurate and complete to the best of your knowledge
-
Your firm is not currently subject to any pending litigation, regulatory action, or disciplinary proceedings that have not been disclosed to us
-
You have not entered into any exclusive agreement with another broker, advisor, or buyer that would prevent you from engaging with us
-
The sale of your firm does not require the consent of partners, shareholders, or third parties that has not already been obtained or disclosed
Any material misrepresentation made during the inquiry or transaction process may result in termination of our engagement and may expose you to legal liability for damages incurred by us or any buyer introduced through our platform.
7. No Guarantee of Sale or Valuation
Our free valuation is provided as an informational estimate based on the details you provide and current market conditions. It does not constitute:
-
A formal appraisal or certified business valuation
-
A binding offer or commitment to purchase your firm at the estimated value
-
A guarantee that a buyer will be found or that a transaction will be completed
Actual sale prices depend on many factors including due diligence findings, market conditions at the time of closing, buyer financing, client retention during transition, and negotiation outcomes. We make no representations about the final price or terms of any transaction.
8. Fees and Compensation
SellCPAFirm.com charges no upfront fees to Sellers for initial consultations or valuations. Our compensation structure operates as follows:
-
When acting as a direct buyer: No advisory fee is charged. We bear the full cost of acquisition.
-
When acting as an M&A advisor: A success fee (commission) is payable upon the successful closing of a transaction. The specific fee percentage and structure will be outlined in a separate written engagement agreement signed before any active listing or buyer introductions begin.
-
No fees of any kind will be charged to Sellers without a signed written agreement explicitly describing the fee structure.
Any third-party costs associated with the transaction — including legal fees, accounting review, lease assignments, or licensing transfers — are the responsibility of the respective parties as agreed in the purchase agreement.
