What we do

1. Exit & Succession Planning

We help you think through full exits, phased transitions, or internal succession and structure outcomes that match your personal timeline, risk tolerance, and legacy goals. Options include immediate liquidity, earn-outs, or equity rollovers.

2. Buyer Fit & Strategic Alignment

Rather than "marketing" your firm broadly, we focus on identifying the right counterpart. Our relationships span strategic acquirers, PE-backed platforms, and next-generation owners, all vetted for cultural alignment, continuity, and long-term viability.

3. Value Positioning & Readiness

We work closely with you to understand how your firm operates, including services, talent model, current mix, and leadership dependencies, and help position it clearly and credibly for sophisticated buyers.

4. Deal Structuring & Negotiation

From early conversations through LOI, diligence, and close, we advise on structure, economics, and risk, always with an eye toward protecting what matters most: your people, your clients, and your post-transaction reality.

Who we help

Established accounting and tax firms

Exploring their options, evaluating inbound interest, or planning a strategic exit on their own timeline.

Firm owners

Who value discretion, continuity, and a long-term outcome over the highest bid on paper.

Small and mid-sized firms

Typically in the $1M–$40M revenue range, seeking a professional advisor at the table.

We are not a high-volume brokerage. We work best with owners who want a thoughtful process and a trusted advisor at the table.

How we work across the deal

Sell-side representation

Valuation, prep, buyer outreach, diligence, structure, negotiation, execution to close.

Buy-side sourcing & advisory

Target ID, screening, valuation, diligence, transaction support.

M&A consulting

trategy in the room before anything moves.

Post-transaction integration

Tech, workflows, talent, org design. Closing is the start of the work.

Market perspective

Deliberate. Confidential. Owner-Led.

Our approach

While every engagement is different, our work typically follows a clear arc, starting from clarity and preparation to execution and transition, without rushing decisions before they’re ready.

1. Exploratory Conversation

We start by understanding your motivations, concerns, and long-term goals, not by pushing you toward a transaction.

2. Readiness & Value Assessment

We assess where your firm stands today, what buyers will care about, and what (if anything) should be addressed before moving forward.

3. Targeted Outreach

When timing is right, we conduct discreet, targeted conversations with qualified buyers who align with your priorities, not a broad market blast.

4. Negotiation & Diligence Support

We help manage structure, economics, and diligence so you can stay focused on running the firm while protecting leverage and value.

5. Transition & Continuity Planning

Post-close, we remain available to support leadership transition, client continuity, and internal stability.

Readiness framing

Many firm owners reach out long before they’re ready to sell. That’s often the smartest time to start the conversation.

At White Tiger Connections, we work exclusively and selectively.

Our role is not to push you to market. We help you understand where you are, what’s possible, and what a well-timed transition could realistically look like. Whether you’re exploring options or preparing for a future sale, we help you move forward with clarity instead of pressure.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the process take from start to close?

Every transaction is different, but most processes take 6 to 12 months from initial preparation to close.

That timeline depends on readiness, market conditions, buyer fit, and deal complexity.

Our role is to structure the process properly from day one so momentum is maintained and value is protected.

That’s completely fine. Many firm owners start conversations well before they are ready to sell.

We often work with sellers on preparation, positioning, and timing so that when they do decide to move forward, they are not reacting under pressure.

We have a team ready to help you at this stage. Book a call with us.

We work with small and mid-sized accounting and tax firms, generally in the $1M–$40M+ revenue range.

Whether you’re thinking about selling someday, planning internal succession, or just want a firm that runs without everything flowing through you, our work is focused on improving EBITDA, reducing owner dependency, and making the firm genuinely transferable.

Selling a CPA practice is effectively a second full-time job that pulls you away from what you do best: serving clients and driving profitability.

An advisor keeps you in the driver’s seat, leading your team and protecting margins while managing the discreet outreach, buyer vetting, negotiations, and seamless close.

Our fees are structured to align with the work involved and the outcomes we’re supporting. In many cases, compensation is tied primarily to a successful transaction, but structure can vary based on timing, scope, and the type of support an owner needs.

We walk through all fee considerations early in the conversation, so expectations are clear before any work begins.

One quick call and you'll know exactly where you stand.
