An outstanding opportunity to acquire the leading accounting practice for small business owners in Wanganui, a franchised accounting, tax and business advisory firm established in 2010, with a large recurring fee base, systemised delivery and fifteen years of consistent growth.
Key Highlights
• Proven Growth: FY26 revenue of $730,881, up 11.1% on FY25 and revenue growth averaging 11% per annum over the past five years.
• Loyal, Highly Diversified Client Base: 1,112 clients across small businesses, rental property owners, trusts and not-for-profits, with 95% annual retention; the top 10 clients represent just 6% of fees and the top 20 only 9.6%.
• Recurring Compliance Earnings: Fixed monthly fee packages ($255,629) and annual accounts ($220,154) provide 65% of FY26 revenue, with rental property accounts, on-charged Xero subscriptions, GST, payroll and advisory work adding further diversification.
• National Brand and Established Premises: Operating under a franchise with national marketing, branding, systems and a set pricing framework, operating out of Wanganui since 2010, trading Monday to Friday, with a new formal lease available to an incoming owner.
• Growth Opportunities: Layer advisory and management reporting onto the existing client base, lift chargeable recovery from approximately 50%, apply the March 2026 fee schedule to legacy clients, cross-sell payroll and GST services, add capacity to meet existing demand, and acquire fee parcels from retiring sole practitioners.
Well suited to an experienced accounting practitioner seeking their first business ownership opportunity. The ideal purchaser will have demonstrated experience in client relationship management, staff leadership, and the provision of accounting and taxation services– subject to the franchise’s approval.
Asking price of $650,000.
