I won't recommend anybody buy a virtual tax firm if you don't have certain terms and conditions in place.

DM "FIRM" for 5 ways to buy a tax firm for $0

Bookkeepers, do you want to add high dollar services to the clients you already have? Come to Acquire & Scale.

It's a two day training in Houston on November 16 and 17. Day one is how to buy a retiring CPA or EA's firm and get it financed for no money out of your own pocket. Day two is tax advisory and tax resolution, taught with ex-IRS agents who worked the inside and know how the system actually runs.

These are the two highest margin services in this business, and most bookkeepers never offer them because nobody ever taught them how. Once you learn them, you go back to the same client list you have right now and you charge what the work is actually worth.

Extension season just ended, so you know exactly who I mean.

You asked for their documents in June. In July. In August. Nothing. Then the last week hits and it all comes flooding in at once with a million questions attached. "I forgot this." "Oh, and I forgot to add that." The work papers are complete, they swear. They never are.

All of that for a $400 return.

That's scope creep, and it will suck the life out of you. I did it for ten years.

I took clients like that from a $400 return to a $30,000 a year advisory engagement. But here's the part nobody teaches. We all know we should be offering these services. Almost nobody knows how to close one. What does that conversation actually sound like? How do you get somebody to put $30,000 in your bank account?

That's day two at Acquire & Scale, two days in Houston, November 16 and 17.

Day one is how to buy a grandpa's CPA firm and finance it for little to nothing out of your own pocket. I've done it five times.

Day two is tax advisory, converting the clients you already have, and high margin work like tax resolution. CPAs teaching you, former IRS agents teaching you.

When you're buying a CPA firm, be careful what the seller tells you they are making.

$150,000. That's where most will top out in audit. or any 9-5.

A million is a different road. You don't get there on salary, you get there on ownership. You buy a book of clients that already pays, and you own the thing instead of renting yourself to it.

I've done it 5 times buying grandpa's CPA firms now. Want to learn how? Attend Acquire & Scale. A 2 day training in Houston, November 16 and 17. Day 1 we learn how to acquire a firm. Day 2 we learn how to scale a firm. If you're done trading your time for money instead of trading your value for money, dm "SCALE".

The SBA doesn't care if you make a $1 or $1M. Their focus is on the cash flow of the accounting firm you're buying.

Stop working for free. Start getting paid what you're worth.

You've got a client paying you $450 for a simple return. Then the questions start coming. What should I do here? Should I move money there? How do I save on taxes?

You answer them, because you want to be helpful. None of it is on the invoice.

That's scope creep. You're already doing advisory work. You're just doing it for free.

I'm standing in one of the firms I bought. I come up here once a month, and I try to only come when I've got tax advisory clients on the books. I just closed a $12,000 a year client. Same person used to be that $450 return.

Knowing the code is one thing. Knowing how to close somebody for $12,000 a year is a whole different thing.

Come to Acquire & Scale. Two days in Houston, November 16 and 17. Day one is how I bought a firm like this with no money out of my own pocket. Day two is tax advisory and the high margin services like tax resolution, taught with former IRS agents in the room.

Stop working for free. Start getting paid what you're worth.

You charge a client $500 for a simple return. Then they start asking what they should do with their money, where to move it, how to save on taxes. You want to help, so you answer. That's scope creep, and it's advisory work you're giving away.

I just closed a $30,000 a year tax advisory client. Same kind of person who used to be a $500 return.

Come to Acquire & Scale. Two days in Houston. Day one is how to acquire an entire block of a tax firm, a bookkeeping firm or a CPA firm and finance the whole thing with no money out of your own pocket. Day two is the deep dive: tax advisory, tax resolution, and the high dollar services that turn a $500 client into a $30,000 a year client.

Knowing the strategies is half of it. The half nobody teaches is how to close. You can have the whole code in your head, but if you can't close, none of it reaches your bank account.

The #1 most important thing you need to be successful when buying a CPA firm is the endorsement of the seller.

It's 8:57 on a Tuesday morning. What are you doing right now? Probably answering emails, probably building a report for your manager.

I was a 9 to 5 corporate CPA. I quit, I took a leap of faith, and I went and learned tax. I've bought 5 grandpa CPA firms since then and I have almost 2,500 clients.

If you want to do something like this, come to Acquire & Scale. It's a two day training in Houston on November 16 and 17. Day one is how to acquire a grandpa's CPA firm. Day two is how to scale it, which means tax advisory, tax resolution, multiple streams of revenue and AI.

I didn't think I could do this and I did it. You can do it too.

dm "SCALE" and I'll send you the details.
