The first mover advantage

The best parcels rarely get advertised!

When a bookkeeping business owner decides to sell, their first concern is almost never price. It’s confidentiality. They don’t want their staff unsettled, their clients approached, or their name discussed in the next BAS agent group chat.

So the process runs quietly. A blind profile goes to a small number of pre-qualified buyers under NDA. If it lands, it’s done — often within weeks, and frequently with more than one party interested.

By the time a book is advertised publicly, it has usually already been past the people on my register. Being on it costs nothing and commits you to nothing. It simply means that when something matching your criteria comes up, you’re one of the first calls I make.

Free, confidential, and no obligation attached to any introduction.

What being registered gives you

Early sight of parcels that match

Size, location, software platform, service mix and timing. You hear about opportunities that fit before the market does.

Clear understanding of what’s on offer

Businesses presented to our buyers have been appraised, investigated, and prepared for an efficient sale and smooth transition.

Deep industry experience 

With more than 20 years experience working with and advising the accounting and bookkeeping professions, we know what’s important to buyers and sellers.

A professional approach

A well-run sale delivers an outcome that works for everyone. From matching buyers and sellers, negotiating the deal, conducting due diligence, to finalising the terms of the contract, our approach is professional and thorough.

What You Get

The 42-point Bookkeeping Business Acquisition Checklist

Before you make an offer on anything, work through this. Forty-two questions across seven areas — your own position before you look, maintainable revenue and the fee book, client quality and retention risk, the vendor and transition, staff and registrations, systems and compliance, and price and structure.

It’s the same list I’d take into a meeting with sellers. It Includes indicative pricing bands by fee characteristics and the specific structural protections worth keeping in mind.

Tell me what you’re looking for.

It takes two minutes. There’s no cost, no obligation, and I won’t send you anything that doesn’t match your criteria — the point of the register is fewer, better introductions, not more email.

Prefer to just talk?

Who You’d Be Talking To

I’m Dean Marinac, and I’ve spent more than twenty years working alongside the accounting and bookkeeping professions — first advising principals and directors on increasing the value of what they’d built, and now helping them sell it.

Accounting and bookkeeping practices are the majority of what I do. That matters, because I know what a retention clause should look like, why monthly fees are typically priced differently to hourly, and how a client transition actually needs to work to protect all parties.

I’m a Certified Professional Business Broker and a member of the Australian Institute of Business Brokers, which means a formal standard applies to how I work.

Whether you’re buying now or some time in the future, a conversation costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
