The Trick to Making Firms more Valuable

If you ever watch Planet of the Apes and they ape. He grabs the stick and he's like ape alone. Weak. And he smashes it. And then he puts them all together and he's like ape together. Strong, can't break. That's what mergers and acquisitions are in the accounting spaces. They all become worth more now that they're under common control, as opposed to real estate, where like, if I have a million dollar property in Chicago and $1 million property in Miami, they don't just become worth more that I own them both. In fact, if I wanted to sell them both at the same time, I'd have to take a discount, most likely, because who wants to buy a property in two different states? But, but accounting firms are worth more together, especially if they're on the same systems, processes, employees, and they share the same common control of ownership.
