Why would anyone selling their book to exit the industry join this forum? Best practices, growth and business development conversations are not typical for those leaving the business

Exactly correct, 65 and 70 year old sellers don’t get on Fishbowl...or even know what it is. This is a great forum to talk about ways to find sellers, but you won’t find them chatting in online forums...

California peeps. I have a feeling I failed FAR, which is my last exam, but my score isn’t released until May 11. Can I submit the reapplication with the CA Board of Accountancy to speed up the retake and NTS process in case I failed? Or do I need to get my exam score first? I need to pass by mid June, else my REG score expires, hence the rush to resubmit the re-application.

Wells - curious. Where are you and are you buyer/seller? I'm guessing buyer and all the stats I read are completely in our favor, yet I feel like books of business should be going for sale every day and I struggle to find any good sellers?

Has anyone hired a consultant to find them a practice to purchase? I'm not asking about the big players like KMG or Succession link.... I'm asking if you've worked with an individual contracted consultant... If so, wondering how the experience went.
