Attest Practices
Confidential listings of attest-focused practices. Licensing, peer review, and independence requirements typically apply and should be evaluated with professional advisors.
Attest practices carry the strictest regulatory considerations of any accounting practice. Buyers must evaluate the licensure and peer-review status required to continue the work, independence and quality-control considerations, the engagement mix across audit, review, and compilation, and concentration in any single industry or client.
Listings are blind — you will see the engagement mix, revenue, and industry focus before any firm identity is disclosed, which happens only after the seller approves your access request.
CPA Acquire is a directory only. It does not assess independence, value the practice, or facilitate the transaction. Engage your own CPA, attorney, and the state board to confirm you can continue attest work before proceeding.

Attest listings must never include client names, financial statements, workpapers, or peer-review files. These are confidential and regulated — share them privately, under your own NDA, only after approving a qualified buyer.
Plain-English background — not legal, tax, CPA, or valuation advice.
Attest work generally requires an appropriately licensed CPA buyer, an active peer-review history, and satisfaction of independence and quality-control requirements. The qualified-buyer pool is narrower than for tax or bookkeeping practices. Confirm what is required to continue specific engagements with your own CPA, attorney, and the relevant state board — CPA Acquire does not provide regulatory or licensing advice.
Generally no. Audit, review, and compilation engagements are attest services that typically require a licensed CPA firm to perform. Non-CPAs can usually acquire non-attest practices (bookkeeping, tax prep, payroll, CAS) but not the attest engagements themselves. Verify the specifics with your advisors and state board.
A confidential (or 'blind') listing describes a practice for sale without revealing the owner's identity, firm name, exact address, client names, or any client PII. Buyers see high-level teaser information — practice type, region, revenue range, service mix, and deal preferences — and request gated access. The seller decides, at their sole discretion, who is approved to see additional detail.
No. CPA Acquire is a listing directory only. It does not broker transactions, represent buyers or sellers, negotiate terms, recommend buyers or sellers, provide valuation advice, prepare transaction documents, hold funds, provide escrow, or facilitate closings. Buyers and sellers connect through the directory and then handle diligence, negotiation, financing, compliance, and closing independently with their own advisors.
