CONFIDENTIALITY POLICY AND
CONFIDENTIALITY PLEDGE
Confidentiality is an important cornerstone of our commitment to provide you
with truly exceptional service when we actively promote, market, and negotiate
the sale of your accounting firm. Accounting Broker Acquisition Group, Inc. is
dedicated to upholding and defending your right to confidentiality and privacy
when selling your accounting firm . . . starting with the very first discussion
or email communication between you and our firm - even before you have
chosen to utilize our services to promote, market, and negotiate the
sale of
your CPA practice. Please read our Confidentiality Pledge toward bottom
of this page (below dividing line).
None of
our numerous nationwide listings of
CPA practices for sale appear on
this website
(or any other website). There are several good reasons for this
including . . .
CONFIDENTIALITY. We are absolutely obsessed with maintaining the highest
level of confidentiality humanly possible when we
sell an accounting
practice.
We are
certain you would appreciate this "web-excluded" listing policy if you happen to be a “seller”
who owns one of only “three CPA firms” in a small town. The marketing efforts
that we perform when we
sell an accounting firm typically
exclude specific competitors (firms and individuals) whom our sellers would
prefer to “keep in the dark” regarding a potential sale. The exclusion of our
CPA firm listings from our website is deeply rooted in the knowledge that
maintaining absolute confidentiality is better for both the buyer and the seller
until the sale is closed, properly transitioned, and profitable for the
person or entity who is buying the accounting practice.
We are
fully aware that this is an entirely unique and different strategy
and approach from our
competitors . . . most of whom rely on “listings” appearing on their
websites to do what they call “marketing” or “promoting”
sales of accounting
practices.
But aside
from the potential lack of confidentiality, a “web-based” approach has a
DISASTROUS BLIND SIDE. A web-based approach will typically
result in a lower sales price when you
sell your accounting practice in comparison to the methods
and strategies that we employ (find out why in our free
report).
Our
proprietary database of accounting firm buyers is
as close to 100-percent of the “entire marketplace of
active and
serious buyers” as is humanly possible to achieve! Our database did not
result from a limited web-based approach . . . our database is the culmination
and fruition of an extensive and unique market research strategy, significant
hard work, and “thinking outside the box.” We supplement our extensive market
research with website registrations which play a more limited role for obvious
reasons.
Our proprietary database
of active buyers who are looking to acquire an accounting business for sale
is the most comprehensive in the industry. The
AccountingBroker database
contains literally thousands of potential buyers looking to
purchase accounting
practices of all types and sizes in absolutely every area of the country (All 50
states - Nationwide). A large number of these buyers are willing to pay cash
and are ready to buy an accounting practice for sale now!
We believe our policy of excluding your information from
our website is a significantly better policy for four good reasons:
-
Including your information
on our website could detrimentally breach your confidentiality and the
ultimate selling price of your accounting firm
. . . especially if you
happen to be a seller who owns one of three CPA firms in a small town;
-
Any information that we
could otherwise place on our website without violating confidentiality
would be so vague as to be useless. For
instance, exactly how useful is the
information “Tax firm for sale
in small town in Southern California” anyway?
You might ask: “How could vague information be detrimental?” We
believe vague information often results in distracted focus.
Accounting practice
business brokers that “list” vague information on their websites about
CPA
practices for sale receive a significant number of inquiries from
unnecessary tire-kickers who aren’t interested in your firm in the first
place. These inquires serve only to distract what should be an extreme
focus on achieving the primary goal . . . finding the “right
buyers” who are willing to pay maximum value for your
accounting practice for
sale . . . and giving
you a choice regarding which of these “right buyers” is the “perfect buyer”
for your clients.
-
Even
if confidentiality is maintained, a web-based approach will typically
result in a lower selling price in comparison to the methods and strategies
we employ (find out why in our
free report).
-
Many
brokers who use a web-based approach are entirely "hands-off" to actively promoting,
marketing,
and negotiating the sale of your
accounting firm (even though they may claim otherwise). They refer all
buyers to you and only become involved in the negotiation process if you
reach an impasse with the buyer. Is this any way to maximize value
if you are essentially on your own unless you reach an impasse? Accounting Broker Acquisition
Group actively promotes, markets, and negotiates the
sale of your accounting firm
with one goal in mind . . . getting the message out to all qualified and
active buyers in the marketplace and maximizing the value of the
sale of your practice
with our exceptional and proven sales and negotiating techniques.

pledge below.
