The purpose of every firm is not just to provide a service to clients or to provide employment to a team. Every firm should be creating value for the business owner. Every accounting business is about building a business that has a value beyond the fees and cash it generates each year.

 

 In this webinar we look at how goodwill and accounting businesses are valued in the market place in 2023 and how firm owners can build the value of their firm whether they want to merge or sell or even if they want to just develop their own firm into a saleable scaleable asset.


Des O’Neill will cover the following topics during this session:

  • An insight into what is happening in the market right now in terms of mergers, acquisitions and firm valuations models.
  • How goodwill is valued in professional services firms
  • The Incorporation of an accounting business.
  • The structure of a an acquisition.
  • The challenges and pitfalls of mergers
  • How firm owners can drive valuations


By attending this session you will not only gain an insight into what is happening and the market place and how firms and goodwill are valued but you will also see what you can do in your firm to drive your value.


This webinar will benefit firm owners or senior management within a firm who are responsible for driving the strategy and value of the business. It will be of specific benefit to anyone looking to incorporate their firm, sell their firm or acquire another firm in the future.
