25+ Year Track Record. Adj. Profit $369K
This is an exceptional opportunity to acquire a long-established, home-based bookkeeping and BAS agent practice with a 25+ year trading history, a loyal referral-based client base of 200+ small and medium businesses, and a fully remote, low-overhead operating model with no lease or commercial premises. Built almost entirely on trust and word-of-mouth, the business has never undertaken any formal marketing, yet continues to win new clients consistently through a small number of long-standing accounting firm relationships, with real sector depth in medical, allied health, and childcare clients. Revenue and profitability have grown consistently, underpinned by a highly recurring, fixed-fee client base and a capable, low-turnover team already in place. With no active marketing, SEO, or digital presence to date, an incoming owner inherits clear, unclaimed upside to accelerate growth well beyond the current referral-only model – a genuinely low-risk entry point for a buyer with sales or marketing capability.
- 25+ year trading history under stable, continuous ownership
- 200+ loyal, referral-based clients – no single client exceeds ~10% of revenue
- Revenue grown from ~$414K to ~$705K over the past two years
- 100% gross margin – asset-light, no stock, no cost of goods sold
- Adjusted earnings margin consistently in the low-to-mid 50s%
- Overwhelmingly recurring, fixed-fee client billing
- Fully remote operation – no lease, no premises, no physical assets to manage
- Recent fee increase not yet fully reflected in reported earnings, with further pricing headroom identified
- Capable, low-turnover team already in place, including established offshore delivery capacity
- Registered BAS Agent compliance framework already built – no regulatory groundwork required
- Zero marketing spend to date – untapped upside in SEO, digital, and advisory cross-sell for an incoming owner
- Flexible, hands-on handover available for up to two years to protect referral relationships through transition
Initial payment on handover, with the balance released in staged payments contingent on client retention over an agreed period. A 10% goodwill deposit is payable prior to due diligence commencing, held in the agent’s trust account. The vendor will provide hands-on training and knowledge transfer during handover, including a personal introduction to referring accounting firms, and remains available for up to two years post-settlement via a consulting fee or as a working business partner, by agreement. A staged buy-in structure will also be considered for the right buyer.
This business is suitable for a Registered BAS Agent, experienced bookkeeper, or investor with sales and marketing capability to grow the practice, as the current owner has built and managed all 200+ client relationships single-handedly for 25 years with no formal marketing or sales process ever put in place.
