An article in Accounting Today recounts the experience of a small CPA firm being acquired by a larger firm. The owner of the acquired firm gives some advice as to what to consider when approached by a suitor. One tip: Consider hiring a merger consultant. “With so much at stake, I found this to be a wise monetary investment for both my future and my staff’s,” the owner says. “This helped protect me on issues that I might have not otherwise considered.” In the end, everything turned out great.
