About the Business
- Years in Operation
- 20
- Number of Employees
- 10
- Facilities & Assets
- The practice operates across two leased office locations—Location 1 with five private offices and a boardroom, and Location 2 with two private offices and a boardroom. These facilities have been upgraded, and are well-maintained while supporting both in-person and remote workflows. The leases can be transferred or exited, offering flexibility for buyers. All office assets, furnishings, and systems required for ongoing operations are included in the sale, supporting a smooth and immediate transition.
- Market Outlook / Competition
- Ottawa is Ontario’s second-largest city by both population and GDP, and as the nation’s capital, it benefits from a stable economic base driven by government, technology, professional services, and real estate. Unlike the Greater Toronto Area, which is densely served by accounting and advisory firms, Ottawa presents a less saturated market with fewer direct competitors.
- Opportunities for Growth
- The firm has significant untapped potential for growth. It currently has minimal presence in the technology and government sectors—two of Ottawa’s largest and most stable industries. A buyer with connections or targeted outreach in these verticals could quickly capture market share. Additionally, there is limited focus on higher-value service lines such as corporate tax planning and assurance engagements, presenting an opportunity to expand offerings and drive both revenue and margins.
