In this segment of a discussion on payroll company dynamics, Speaker A addresses Matt about the prevailing mindset among payroll firm owners regarding mergers and acquisitions. While many owners are not planning an immediate exit, they express openness to acquiring other firms' client books, especially when a CPA is forced to relinquish a sizable client roster due to capacity constraints. The speaker emphasizes the strategic value of understanding who is actively seeking to buy or sell client portfolios, as this knowledge can inform deal sourcing and timing decisions within the payroll industry.

Matt, to your point, even if folks aren't looking to sell, they're— I would say most payroll company owners I've spoken to have said the same thing to me when they say, well, I'm not gonna exit soon, but if you find anyone, I would be willing to buy, right? Like it's either you're exiting or you're looking for that CPA with 100 clients who's willing to just hand you 100 clients because he can't service them or she can't service them anymore. And so, you know, having context for who is also looking for that book and why I think is valuable.
