Where to find practices for sale

I talk to aspiring acquirers of practices all the time because many accountants are keen to grow through acquisition. It’s not a simple thing to do and one practice is not the same as the next. My session will stand out because I’ve bought practices myself in the past, I’ve made some mistakes, I’ve learnt from those mistakes which I can share. I will encourage the audience to consider what they are buying, the risks, challenges and opportunities.
