Criteria<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

What are we looking for?<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We are looking for entrepreneurial and high-quality firms that provide one or several of our core services \u2013 accounting, audit, tax and related advisory \u2013 to small and medium sized customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We assess new Accru Partners firms on the basis of Quality, Culture and Financials:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quality<\/strong>
Accru Partners firms are leaders in their local regional market or niche, they have high competence staff and provide great service to loyal customers, evidenced by high retention rates
 
Culture<\/strong><\/strong>
Accru Partners firms are operated by entrepreneurial leaders with sound values who build a strong organisation, with low employee turnover
 
Financials<\/strong><\/strong>
As a result of high quality and a strong culture, Accru Partners firms operate with strong profitability and growth. In terms of size*, we focus on firms with revenues in \u00a34-20 million range, with a minimum size of \u00a32.5m in revenue and a team of 20 employees<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1<\/a><\/sup> *There are no strict size criteria for add-on acquisitions<\/strong>, which are integrated into an existing Accru Partners firm. These acquisitions span small customer transfers from retiring professionals looking to hand over their customers to a safe home, to smaller businesses that provide a meaningful expansion opportunity for Accru Partners firms. If your company falls outside the size criteria outlined above but otherwise would be a good fit for an existing Accru Partners firm, do not hesitate to reach out, either to the contacts listed below or to the relevant Accru Partners firm directly.<\/em>
