Accounting Practice or Client Portfolio Wanted in Limassol – 50–75 Clients

An experienced professional in the accounting and auditing sector is seeking an accounting practice acquisition in Limassol, Cyprus, either through the purchase of a small accounting or audit firm or the acquisition of its existing client portfolio.

Our client is interested in acquiring a portfolio of approximately 50–75 active clients and is prepared to enter into immediate discussions with suitable practice owners.

This acquisition opportunity is particularly relevant to accountants and auditors approaching retirement, professionals wishing to reduce their workload, or practice owners considering a structured and confidential transfer of their business activities.

A key priority is to ensure a smooth transition of client relationships, with full respect for the existing practice’s reputation, professional standards and continuity of service.

Accounting Practice Acquisition in Limassol – Buyer Requirements

The prospective buyer is interested in purchasing either a small accounting or audit practice or exclusively its existing client portfolio, provided that the following main criteria are met.

Client Portfolio Size

• 50–75 active clients
• Existing professional relationships involving accounting, taxation or audit services
• Potential for an organised transfer and continued client servicing

Client Portfolio Composition

• Preference for a combination of Cypriot and international clients
• Clients requiring accounting, tax and audit services
• International client relationships are particularly desirable

Financial Criteria

• Preferred average annual fee per client: €2,000–€5,000
• The fee range refers to the total annual services provided to each client
• Services may include accounting, taxation and auditing

These amounts represent the buyer’s preferred client fee criteria and should not be interpreted as the asking price of an accounting practice or client portfolio.

Acquisition of an Accounting Practice or Client Portfolio

The buyer is open to two potential acquisition structures, depending on the seller’s circumstances and preferences.

• Acquisition of a small accounting or audit practice
• Acquisition of the existing client portfolio only

The final transaction structure will be discussed and agreed upon following an assessment of the relevant business information and the seller’s objectives.

Potential Transfer of Existing Staff

The buyer is also willing to consider retaining or taking over part of the existing staff, depending on the practice’s workload, organisational structure and operational requirements.

This possibility can be discussed as part of the overall acquisition agreement and is not a mandatory condition for expressing interest.

Required One-Year Transition Period

To ensure service continuity and the successful transfer of established professional relationships, the buyer requires the seller to remain involved for a transitional period of one (1) year.

The purpose of this transitional arrangement is to support:

• A smooth introduction of clients to the acquiring professional
• Continuity of trust and established client relationships
• Consistent quality of accounting, tax and audit services
• Organised transfer of operational knowledge and procedures
• Reduced disruption during the acquisition and handover process

• Owners of small accounting practices seeking to reduce their workload
• Professionals considering the sale of their client portfolio
• Practice owners planning an organised business exit
• Professionals who prioritise confidentiality and the preservation of their business reputation

Confidentiality and Acquisition Process

The prospective buyer is approaching this acquisition with a high level of seriousness and is ready to enter into immediate negotiations with suitable sellers.

The proposed process includes:

• Strict discretion and confidentiality
• Signing of a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA)
• Respect for the practice’s history and professional reputation
• Confidential discussion of the proposed acquisition terms
• Planning of the transitional cooperation between seller and buyer

Any transfer of client information and continuation of professional engagements must comply with applicable data protection, professional confidentiality and regulatory requirements.

Preferred Location – Limassol, Cyprus

The buyer is specifically seeking accounting and audit practices in Limassol, Cyprus, as well as local professionals who may be interested in selling their client portfolio.
