EBITDA over revenue multiples. Terms over headline price. A competitive process over a single offer.
That’s how CPA firms are being valued now. Brannon Poe and Morry Brown cover it all next week. hubs.li/Q04BV6Cv0
If your inbox looks like most firm owners' right now, it's full of documents that were promised back in April.
The October Crunch is real, but so is October 16. Hang in there!
Before you sell, merge, or stay independent: ask why you started the firm in the first place.
Ed Rivera (BDO Alliance USA) joins @brannonpoe on Accountant's Flight Plan to talk firm succession, PE, and what really drives growth across 255 CPA firms.

An LOI feels like progress. A number's on paper, momentum is building.
But most are non-binding, leave out material terms, and quietly end your conversations with other buyers. That's the moment leverage starts to slip. hubs.li/Q04vg9fh0

Unsolicited buyer interest has gone from rare to routine in accounting. The question worth sitting with: are you responding to that interest, or leveraging it? Those aren't the same thing.

Barbara Agerton built her own firm. Then she sold it. Now she helps other CPAs figure out which side of that decision they're on.
She brought all her knowledge to the stage at the TXCPA Fort Worth Member Appreciation Day yesterday.
Myth: No advisory fee means you keep more.
Reality: The fee was never the question. The process is. A fee-free deal usually means a smaller buyer pool — not a bigger payout.

Getting calls from interested buyers? That interest is valuable. But how are you leveraging it? There's a big difference between responding to interest and thoughtfully taking your firm to market. Two approaches rarely produce the same outcome. New post: hubs.li/Q04nV4nk0
The summer slowdown brings fewer deadlines and more space to think. Use it intentionally: CE credits, proactive client outreach, real team development conversations. What will you tackle?
Happy Fourth of July from all of us at Poe Group Advisors. 🇺🇸
Wishing you a wonderful holiday with family and friends.
We're at the midpoint of 2026. Worth asking: • Are the systems you built post-tax season still in use? • Is your team more independent than in January? • Does your current pace feel sustainable? Six months of data. Six months left to use it.
Happy Canada Day to our clients, colleagues, and team members across Canada. 🇨🇦 We hope you enjoy a well-deserved celebration today!
Systems that make your work manageable today are the same systems that make your practice valuable at transition.
You don't have to choose between enjoying work now and maximizing future value.
They're complementary goals.
What will you strengthen?
