Manchester and the wider North West are home to a large, thriving community of independent accountancy firms serving the region's SMEs. It's also one of our own delivery bases. Owners here often tell us the same thing: the practice is solid and the clients are loyal, but the prospect of another decade of compliance change and staffing headaches has them thinking about the future. If you own a practice in Greater Manchester — from the city centre out to Stockport, Bolton, Bury or Cheshire — we buy directly, confidentially, and on your timeline.
Why sell your practice directly
We're a direct buyer, not a broker. That means you deal with the decision-maker, keep the process confidential, avoid broker commission, and shape the deal around your timeline rather than a broker's calendar. There's no listing your practice around the market and no parade of tyre-kickers — just a grown-up, private conversation. See the full comparison in our guide to broker vs direct.
What we buy
| We're interested in | We're flexible on |
|---|---|
| Limited company or sole practitioner practices | Location, size and software stack |
| Strong recurring revenue | Service mix — accounts, tax, VAT, payroll and more |
| Solid client relationships and decent compliance | Owner involvement — fast exit or phased step-down |
| A team that cares about doing things properly | A practice that needs a cleaner operating system |
How it works
A confidential call, an indicative valuation range, light-touch due diligence, heads of terms, then completion and a protected handover. The full detail is on our sell your practice page, and you can get an instant indicative figure from our valuation calculator.
