How Much Is Your Florida Accounting Business Worth?

A question on the top of every business owner’s mind is, “how much is my business worth?”

With season end approaching, I thought this would be a good time to update you on accounting business sales throughout Florida and give you some data regarding sales and pricing. Here are some numbers for you to ponder:

  • 7 = the number of accounting businesses sold in the last twelve months by the Business Broker of Florida Association members.

  • $81,788 = the average revenue of the 7 sold accounting businesses.

  • $58,333 = the average sold price of the 7 sold accounting businesses.

  • $45,334= the average owner benefit generated in each sold accounting business.

  • 0.713 = the revenue multiple (sold price divided by revenue) of the 7 sold accounting businesses.

  • 1.29 = the owner benefit multiple (sold price divided by owner benefit) of the 7 sold accounting businesses.

  • 58% = the average percentage down payment of the 7 sold accounting businesses.

  • 183 = the average number of days on the market of the 7 sold accounting businesses.


  • What does this mean?

    In spite of a more conservative and cash strapped buying clientele, they are still selling quickly compared to many other industries. If you have been contemplating selling your accounting business, now is a great time! Please contact me for a no obligation discussion.
