Built forOwners planning a sale, a merger, a successor or simply their next step

What it answers

The questions behind every sale or succession.

Value is negotiated, so the answers are ranges with their reasons attached. The report shows both.

01

What is my practice worth today?

A likely range from published transaction data, adjusted for your size, mix and the factors buyers price.

02

What moves the number?

Recurring revenue, growth, client concentration and owner dependence, each scored and explained.

03

Is the practice ready for a buyer?

Your financials laid out the way a buyer's diligence will rebuild them, with gaps flagged early.

04

What could it be worth, and how fast?

The changes most likely to raise value, and the time each one takes to show up in the number.

Common questions

Before you start.

01Who is the report for?

Financial advisors and CPA or tax firm owners thinking about a sale, a merger, bringing in a partner or planning succession. It's just as useful if you simply want to know where you stand.

02Is this an appraisal?

No. It's an independent, market-based valuation for planning. It isn't a formal appraisal or fairness opinion, and it isn't tax or legal advice.

03How does ATP stay objective?

The value is built from published transaction data and the specifics of your practice, with every adjustment shown. ATP is independently owned and works with buyers and firms across the industry, so the reasoning is in writing for you to test.

04How is my information handled?

In confidence. What you share stays with ATP and is never shared with anyone without your permission.

05What if I'm not planning to sell?

Most owners aren't, yet. The report shows what the practice is worth today and what would raise it, which is useful long before any sale.

Start with your indicative range.
