The NCI Advantage

Why Pay More? Especially When You Don’t Have To

NCI has a distinct advantage over every other broker: our Online Sales and Marketing Academy, which we provide at no additional cost to the buyer of your practice. This is a substantial value-add for both you and your buyer, given the cost waiver of $1995 and the Academy’s demonstrated practice growth potential!

NCI’s Online Sales and Marketing Academy contains practical information on the most effective sales and marketing systems for accountants, including our newly-developed digital marketing strategies. With content
created from over four decades of experience, NCI’s Online Sales and Marketing Academy has helped 4000+ accounting firms develop successful and thriving businesses. The Academy is presented in an accessible format
that will help assure your buyer not only continues the success of your firm, but also maximizes its potential.

Peace of Mind – For You

What kind of buyer would you rather sell to? Someone who is proactive and understands how to grow a practice or someone who is passive and simply allows a practice to coast along—while hoping for the best? What if you are financing part of the sale? Now, who do you prefer as a buyer?

We think the answer is clear. With NCI’s experience, guidance, and support, your practice will thrive in the hands of a proactive new owner. This makes for a quadruple win: you, the new owner, your practice, and NCI!

  o Pre-qualifying buyers financially to assure you only meet with viable professionals. Note: We require financial statements from potential buyers prior to making any contact with you.

  o Providing first drafts of contracts and a Letter of Intent (LOI), which will reduce your legal fees.

  o Making proven suggestions to facilitate a smooth transition between you and the new owner, which helps to prevent client attrition. This includes template transition letters that can be       customized to notify clients of the sale/merger after closing.

          o Marketing your practice to our expansive 60,000+ in-house database formed from over 40 years of professional interactions; contacting NCI clients in your market to inform them your                 firm is for sale; and when or where needed, utilizing our mailing lists to promote your practice sale via standard postal service.

          o Leveraging our excellent relationships with numerous private equity buyers and private investors who are aggressively seeking to purchase accounting firms nationwide.
