Prep priorities

Before you go to market with a accounting & cpa business in Nebraska

Priority 01

Segment your revenue in your P&L: compliance, CAS/advisory, and other. Buyers cannot price what you cannot report.

Priority 02

Build (or acquire) an advisory / CAS practice — 20%+ of revenue from advisory is the multiple-moving threshold.

Priority 03

Identify and formalize a non-owner successor path — even one senior manager on the partner track meaningfully changes the story.

Priority 04

Diversify client concentration — get top-10 clients below 25% of revenue before you go to market.

Priority 05

Modernize your tech stack — a firm on legacy tax software will be discounted regardless of P&L quality.

Frequently asked

Accounting & CPA in Nebraska · FAQ

How is my accounting firm valued?

The market prices in both revenue multiples and EBITDA multiples in parallel. Sub-$2M revenue firms trade at roughly 1.0–1.4x annual revenue (or 4–7x EBITDA). Firms above $2M with 70%+ recurring compliance revenue and a real advisory book trade at 1.4–1.8x revenue / 8–12x EBITDA. Vertical specialization, staff retention, and partner-succession bench are the biggest multiple drivers at every scale.

How long does it take to sell an accounting firm?

Plan on 6–10 months from initial outreach to close. PE-backed acquirers move quickly on well-prepared firms (60–90 days from LOI to close) but the up-front prep — cleaning up your KPI reporting, documenting your CAS/advisory revenue split, and getting your partner-succession story straight — is where 3–4 months of the timeline hides.

What accounting & CPA multiples are typical in Nebraska?

Nebraska accounting & CPA businesses trade in the same base range as national comps — 1.5x to 2.75x SDE below roughly $1M in SDE, transitioning to 3.5x to 6.5x EBITDA above. Nebraska's more moderate SBA activity means broker network reach into out-of-state buyers matters more for maximizing outcome.
