This highly profitable, home-based CPA practice offers a unique opportunity to acquire a specialized nonprofit audit and tax niche from a retiring CPA who is seeking a qualified successor to assume responsibility for clients immediately following the close of sale. The practice serves approximately 65 clients, most of whom have been with the firm for five years or longer. The current client list reflects approximately $608k in annual billings; however, due to the timing of work completion and billing practices, recognized revenue was $528,629 in 2025.

The firm also benefits from a balanced mix of 12/31 and 6/30 year-end engagements, helping distribute the workload throughout the year. The Seller is seeking a technically strong CPA Buyer who can provide excellent client service, remain accessible to clients, and maintain continuity for many years to come. A Buyer located in San Diego County, or nearby with a San Diego County address, is strongly preferred to support client confidence and retention.
