• Sellers' Thoughts • Buyers' Thoughts • Thoughts on ProHorizons' Speakers • What Sellers Think... “Within a few days of listing with ProHorizons, I was introduced to three prospective buyers. There were other feelers along the way, but I eventually sold to one of those initial introductions. Throughout the sales process, Rick Harrison of ProHorizons was involved to whatever degree I required. He provided me with the latitude I wanted, but was there when I needed input and counsel. He was objective, spoke with candor, and helped the buyer and I reconcile our differences. If I were to sell again, I would use ProHorizons and I am comfortable recommending them to any friend or colleague.” “Working with ProHorizons made the sale of my practice much less difficult. The process was fast and smooth. There were no surprises. ProHorizons played a valuable role in completing the sale. John Ezell coached me all the way to the closing. I would recommend using ProHorizons to any friend or colleague considering buying or selling a practice." "We were impressed with how many prospective buyers ProHorizons was able to bring to the table. As for the process of selling, Ken Berry's knowledge, professionalism and responsiveness were excellent. ProHorizons was actively involved every step of the way and worked closely with us and our prospective buyers to create a positive sale and sales experience for all involved. Thank you again for all your help. We really appreciate it." "We’ve had the opportunity to work with ProHorizons both as a seller and a buyer. In each case Harlan Freeman was highly professional, attentive, and very knowledgeable. “I had a great overall experience working with ProHorizons. I tried to sell my practice on my own and was unsuccessful. ProHorizons helped me find a buyer that was a good match to work with my clients." “The transition of my practice was a little more time consuming than I expected. However the sales process proceeded very smoothly. It would have been very tough to find the right buyer without ProHorizons. From structuring the sale and valuation of the practice to the closing, ProHorizons was invaluable!" "The process took a little longer than expected, mostly in finding the right buyer. But John [Ezell, CPA] sure knows the business and the accounting industry. I would definitely recommend ProHorizons." “Thanks for everything you did to make the sale of my practice possible. I was glad we found a buyer for both segments of my business and we did not need to split it into two companies. Now I am enjoying my "retirement" working in my son's business." "Thanks again John, Ruth and staff. You did a great job!"
What Buyers Think... “I have been looking to buy a practice and have been working with ProHorizons and their competitors. ProHorizons has always been very responsive when I call or email. Some of the other firms don't even acknowledge a call or email." "Making a decision to purchase an accounting firm is very complex. Ken Berry, of ProHorizons, gave me answers to specific questions that assisted me in making the right decisions on how and when to move forward with the purchase I have now made. The valuable resources contained in "Successful Practice Sales" provided me further with specific tools needed to create a smooth transfer of ownership. Had it not been for his guidance, both as an agent and in print, we would not have been able to resolve issues necessary to create what is now an effective "win, win" deal."
Regarding ProHorizons' Speakers... "John Ezell of ProHorizons has been our speaker at three seminars on 'How to Buy, Sell or Merge Your Tax Practice'. As expected, John was very knowledgeable on the market for buying and selling tax practices. The seminar was filled with valuable information for our membership and anyone considering selling or buying a practice."
Regarding our book - Successful Practice Sales... "Successful Practice Sales is the best book of its kind. It lays out -- in a practical, step-by-step way -- the process for buying or selling your tax or accounting practice. But more than showing you the 'how,' it also explains the 'why.' There are a lot of fears and uncertainties in buying or selling -- particularly selling. John Ezell is there for you at every step of the way. Don't consider your next big move without this book." "The valuable resources contained in Successful Practice Sales provided me with specific tools needed to create a smooth transfer of ownership." "I am very impressed with Successful Practice Sales. It covered all of the subjects I expected and did so in a way I could easily understand. All at a reasonable price! In fact, I would have paid far more for the contents of this book.”
