Tools for practice owners

These free calculators work out what your practice is worth, whether it is ready to sell, how much of it depends on you, and when you need to start preparing. Each one runs in your browser and shows its working.

Start here

What's my accountancy practice worth?

Enter your recurring fees, fee mix, client concentration, hours, team and client tenure to get an indicative value range. Every adjustment to the multiple is shown, and you set the starting multiple.

Selling

Selling

Sale readiness scorecard

Twelve questions cover owner dependency, documented systems, staff retention, client concentration, financial records and your reason for selling. The result is a score out of 100 and a list of fixes in priority order, with timescales.

Succession

Succession timeline planner

What the tools cover

Practice Group buys accountancy practices directly, and these are the four questions we work through with owners, usually in this order. What is the practice worth? What will a buyer question? How much of the firm depends on me? How long will it all take, working back from the date I want to leave?

Each tool shows its answer on screen as soon as you finish, and the calculations run in your browser. After the answer, every tool has a box where you can ask us for the result and a written view from a buyer, and that request is confidential.

Every multiple, weighting and preparation time a tool uses is labelled as Practice Group's own assumption, so you can judge it for yourself. Where a tool touches tax, it links to the GOV.UK source and does no tax calculation, because the tax result depends on how the deal is structured and on your personal position.

A Succession Plan for your firm

A Succession Plan starts from your own fee list and accounts. We spend half a day together, and you receive a written plan with a review date.
