Seller Readiness
Thinking about succession does not mean you are ready to sell.
RNR helps CPA firm owners understand their options before entering the market. Our readiness assessment evaluates your firm across key dimensions — succession planning, partner bench strength, client diversification, and operational independence — to determine where you stand and what you need to do next.
Whether you're 18 months from transition or simply exploring your options, understanding readiness is the first step toward maximizing value and finding the right partner.
