Your next chapter

Sell your accountancy practice — direct, confidential, and without broker noise.

Thinking about retirement, succession, or stepping back? Practice Group buys UK accountancy practices direct. No auction. No tyre-kickers. Just a grown-up conversation with the buyer.

A buyer, not a broker
Confidential from day one
Founder-led
Clean break or phased exit
Why sell direct

A buyer, not a broker. That changes everything.

It's not just numbers. It's your name, your people, and years of relationships. Deal direct and you cut the noise, the fees and the delays.

01

Speed

You're speaking to the decision-maker, not passing messages through a deal team.

02

Discretion

No listing your practice around the market. Early conversations can be anonymous.

03

Simplicity

Fewer parties, fewer games, fewer delays. One honest conversation.

04

Control

A deal shaped around your timeline and your handover — not a broker's calendar.

"I'm not here to squeeze a practice dry. I'm here to build a group worth joining."

— Andy, co-founder & buyer

How it works

Five steps. No games.

01

Confidential call

20–30 minutes on your goals, timeline, client mix and team.

02

Indicative valuation

A sensible range, and the drivers that move it up or down.

03

Light-touch DD

The essentials: recurring fees, concentration, staffing, compliance.

04

Heads of Terms

Price, structure, timeline and your involvement, agreed.

05

Completion

A calm handover that protects clients and staff.

Deal structures commonly include cash + deferred, an earn-out, or a phased step-down. We recommend what fits your goals — not what looks clever on paper.

What we buy

A good practice that deserves a good home.

We're interested in

  • UK practices — limited company or sole practitioner
  • Strong recurring revenue, even if it isn't perfect
  • Solid client relationships and decent compliance
  • A team that cares about doing things properly

We're flexible on

  • Location, size and software stack
  • Service mix — accounts, tax, VAT, payroll and more
  • Owner involvement — fast exit or phased step-down
  • A practice that needs a cleaner operating system
More than an exit

Selling isn't the only way we work with practice owners.

Practice Group isn't only a buyer. We run back offices, deliver compliance, help firms move clients up to advisory, and give owners a fractional COO and FD. So whether you want to sell now, step back gradually, or simply take the back office off your plate, there's a way to work together — and you'd be joining a group with real delivery muscle behind you.

Who we are

You'll speak to the buyer — not a junior on a deal team.

I'm Andy. I buy practices directly, and I care about the human side of these deals. I want to build a group where clients are looked after, staff aren't burnt out, and the business is easier to run than it's ever been.

If you want a straight conversation about your options, I'm happy to have it — even if you decide not to sell.

Andy — Co-founder, Practice Group
Valuation

What's your practice worth?

Start with a range, not a sales pitch. Most owners want clarity on four things — and a confidential call is the fastest way to get it.

FAQs

The questions owners ask first.

Do you buy directly or broker deals?

We buy directly. You speak to the buyer, which keeps things simpler and typically avoids broker fees.

How confidential is this?

Very. Early conversations can be anonymous. We only involve staff or clients once a plan is agreed.

What size practices do you buy?

We're open-minded — fit matters more than size, whether you're a sole practitioner or a larger firm.

Do I need to stay on after the sale?

Not always. Some owners want a clean break; others step down over time. We build the plan around you.

What happens to my staff?

Continuity matters. In most deals, retaining the team is part of protecting clients and service.

What if I'm not ready to sell yet?

Still worth a call. Often we map a short value-uplift plan — or start with back-office support — so you exit stronger.
