APS Head Start Program


Tax season will soon be here, and we know it’s one of your busiest times. That’s why Accounting Practice Sales (APS) created our industry-leading Head Start Program. This allows us to market your firm now, while conveniently deferring conversations with interested buyers until after April 15th.
Here’s how the Head Start Program works: Starting now and continuing through tax season, APS will market your firm using your most recent results. This includes notifying thousands of registered buyers and listing your firm on our national website at www.APS.net. Your firm will also benefit from our ongoing digital and traditional marketing efforts that drive traffic and attract new buyers to your listing. As we generate interest, buyers will be informed that you’re unavailable until after April 15th. Since its launch, Head Start has been highly successful because it lets you stay focused on your clients, keep your tax season revenue, and have qualified buyers ready to engage when you are. In fact, some buyers may even prepare offers in advance for your review after tax season.

Head Start> puts APS to work for you—turning what would otherwise be idle time during tax season into an opportunity to prepare for a successful sale. Best of all, there’s no additional cost to participate. Getting started is quick and simple, requiring only minimal information and documentation. Our team will evaluate your firm and help you establish an asking price that captures full market value.
