Tools for practice owners

Four free calculators for the questions every accountancy practice owner eventually asks: what is it worth, am I ready to sell, how much of it is me, and when do I need to start. Each one runs in your browser, shows its working, and never asks for an email before it gives you the answer.

Start here

What's my accountancy practice worth?

An indicative value range from your recurring fees, fee mix, client concentration, hours, team and client tenure — with every adjustment to the multiple shown, and the starting multiple left in your hands to change.

Why these four

Practice Group buys accountancy practices directly, so these are the four questions we end up working through with almost every owner we speak to — usually in that order. What is it worth. What would a buyer pick apart. How much of it is really me. And how long does all of this take, working back from the date I actually want to be out.

Each tool gives you the answer before it asks you for anything. There is no gate, no email wall and nothing stored — the arithmetic happens in your browser and closing the tab is the end of it. If you want the result and a written view from an actual buyer rather than a calculator, every tool has a box for that after the answer, and it stays confidential.

Where a tool uses a multiple, a weighting or a lead time, it is stated as an assumption you can see and argue with rather than presented as market fact. Where a tool touches tax, it signposts the GOV.UK source and does no arithmetic, because the interaction between deal structure and your personal position is not something a web page should be guessing at.
