What is your firm worth?

A market-anchored range from four inputs, with the assumptions on the table. Two minutes, no email, nothing stored.

Your firm

$

Monthly bookkeeping, payroll, business returns with year-round contact. The rest reads as seasonal 1040 volume.

Estimated market range

$640,000 to $960,000

0.80x to 1.20x of gross collections

Where the range comes from

  • Practice-sale brokers educate buyers that most small practices change hands at 80% to 120% of gross; verified mid-2026 California asking prices ran 0.99x to 1.43x, and one verified sold comp (a pure 1040 book in Orange County) closed at 1.30x.
  • Your inputs nudge the band: recurring and business-heavy mix reads as durable revenue; owner dependence is the largest discount buyers apply; stale fees read as repricing risk.

Educational estimate, not an appraisal, an offer, or a promise of sale price. Asking prices are not closing prices, and deal structure (cash vs earnout) moves real proceeds more than the headline multiple. Full reasoning: valuation multiples, explained.

Want it reconciled instead of estimated?

The diagnostic runs your actual four numbers against the peer set and returns a valuation range as its first artifact, flagged as an estimate until verified, refined as the exchange deepens. No system access, no documents to start.
