A speaker advises prospective buyers of accounting firms to first grow organically (to ~50–100 clients) and refine end-to-end systems and processes. After documenting the ideal workflow, they recommend buying another firm's client list and applying those improved systems to rapidly improve delivery and operations. The main leverage is modernizing systems and processes.

I would say for people that are listening that think that they want to buy an accounting firm, I would try to grow organically to a certain extent. Maybe that's like 50 or 100 clients. Really work on exactly what the process is and the ideal. Okay, step one, step two, all the way to the end. Once you have that down, go buy an accounting firm, the client list only, and fix what they don't have, which is going to be the systems and processes just revamped from A to Z of how they bring in work and how they deliver work. And that's probably the biggest lever that you can pull with a lot of accounting firms.
