A Two-Minute Estimate Built On The Multiples Canadian Accounting Practices Actually Sell For. Then A CPA Advisor Turns It Into A Written Valuation, Free.
Move the controls and the range updates. Every factor shows how much it moved the multiple, so you can see what a buyer will pay for and what will cost you.
An estimate from typical Canadian multiples (0.8x to 1.5x gross revenue for small practices). It is not a valuation. The written range from an advisor uses your actual financials, client list and lease.
Small practices, under roughly $3M in revenue, are priced on a multiple of annual gross revenue. The usual range is 0.8x to 1.5x, with 3x to 5x normalized earnings as a cross-check. Larger firms with management teams move to an earnings multiple.
The multiple is not a guess. Buyers pay more for revenue that renews on its own, for staff who stay, for a client base no single client dominates, and for a seller who will stay through a transition. They pay less when the owner is the practice.
Deals are usually part cash at closing and part deferred, with the deferred portion tied to client retention over one to two years. A higher headline price with a long earn-out can be worth less than a lower price paid up front.
The calculator gives a range. A CPA advisor gives you a number you can plan on, from your actual financials, client list and lease, with no fee and no obligation to list.
