Speaker advises buyers to prioritize firms with recurring bookkeeping revenue streams (e.g., monthly bookkeeping plus business and individual tax work) because those clients are less likely to leave compared with one-time, annual-only services. The excerpt highlights an example monetary range for recurring bookkeeping work in the transcript.

Buying a business that has some sort of price, 6 to $700,000 of like bookkeeping work that was recurring, you're looking at that whatever's coming in on monthly bookkeeping. So those clients that have their monthly books there, their business return and their individual, they're going to be way less likely to leave. You're wanting to look for those types of services rather than just once a year type service.
