Practice Group buys UK accountancy practices directly. If you are planning retirement, succession or stepping back, you talk to the people who will buy your firm, in confidence, from the first call to completion.
Selling a practice involves your name, your staff and years of client relationships. When you deal with the buyer directly, you talk to one set of people, you usually avoid a broker's fee, and decisions come back faster.
You speak to the person who makes the decision, so answers come back quickly.
Your practice is discussed with one buyer, and early conversations can be anonymous.
You deal with the same people from the first call to completion.
The deal is shaped around your timeline and the way you want to hand over.
"I'm not here to squeeze a practice dry. I'm here to build a group worth joining."
— Andy, co-founder & buyer
We spend 20–30 minutes on your goals, timeline, client mix and team.
We give you a value range and explain what moves it up or down.
We check recurring fees, how income is spread across clients, staffing and compliance.
We agree the price, structure, timeline and your role after the sale.
The practice changes hands, with a handover planned around your clients and staff.
Deal structures commonly include cash plus deferred payments, an earn-out, or a phased step-down. We recommend the structure that fits your goals.
Where we buy. We buy accountancy practices across the UK, including in London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Glasgow, Bristol and Northern Ireland. Selling your practice to us sets out the process from first call to completion.
Practice Group also runs back offices, delivers compliance work, helps firms move clients up to advisory work, and provides owners with a fractional COO and FD. You can sell now, step back gradually, or hand us the back office, and in each case our own delivery team does the work.

Buzz is Practice Group's own delivery business. We built it ourselves as one team, and its staff in every location work to the same standard.
Each location delivers the full range of services, and work moves between them as one team.
You'll speak to the buyer from the first call.
I'm Andy. I buy practices directly, and I pay close attention to how a sale affects the owner, the staff and the clients. I want to build a group where clients are looked after, staff have workloads they can manage, and the business is easier to run.
If you want to talk through your options, I'm happy to, whether or not you decide to sell.
Five free tools give you a valuation range, a readiness score, a view of how much the firm depends on you, and a timeline for your exit. Each takes a couple of minutes.
We buy directly. You speak to the buyer, which keeps things simpler and typically avoids broker fees.
Early conversations can be anonymous, and we only involve your staff or clients once a plan is agreed.
We buy sole practices and larger firms. How well a practice fits the group matters more to us than its size.
That is up to you. Some owners take a clean break and others step down over time, and we build the plan around what you choose.
In most deals we keep the team, because the staff are a large part of how clients are looked after.
We can still help. We often agree a short plan to raise the value of the practice, or start by taking on back-office work, so the firm is in better shape when you decide to sell.
On the call we cover your timeline and the outcome you want, the key numbers, an indicative valuation range, and the best route for you: selling now, stepping down, or preparing for a higher-value exit.
