5 South Florida Business Deals: Tax, CPA & Advertising Firms from $75K to $1.25M

South Florida's professional services sector continues to generate compelling acquisition opportunities across all price tiers. Today's BBF MLS data reveals five standout deals spanning Broward, Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach counties — from an entry-level tax practice under $100K to a premium advertising agency topping $1.25M — with earnings multiples that would be difficult to replicate in most U.S. markets.

Miami-Dade Tax Practice: $75,000 Asking — 1.5x Cash Flow Multiple

This established Miami-Dade County tax practice is one of the most attractively priced professional services businesses currently listed on the BBF MLS. Operating in one of Florida's most densely populated counties, the firm serves a recurring client base that returns year after year for tax preparation and advisory services — the kind of sticky revenue that makes accounting businesses so desirable to acquirers.

The numbers are compelling: asking price of $75,000, annual revenue of $93,060, and discretionary cash flow of $48,827 — producing a 1.5x earnings multiple. At this price point, a buyer could realistically recoup the full purchase price within 18 months of operations, making this one of the most efficient capital deployments available in today's South Florida market.

The ideal buyer is a licensed CPA or enrolled agent looking to acquire an existing client roster rather than build one from scratch, or an established accounting firm seeking a bolt-on acquisition to expand its Miami-Dade footprint. Due diligence should focus on client concentration (how many clients represent the bulk of revenue), the transferability of client relationships, and whether the current owner is willing to provide a transition period to ensure client retention.

Broward County CPA Practice: $275,000 Asking — 2.1x Earnings Multiple

An established CPA practice in Broward County is available for $275,000, offering a rare combination of strong cash flow and a reasonable valuation multiple in one of South Florida's most active business markets. Fort Lauderdale and the surrounding Broward corridor have seen sustained demand for professional accounting services, driven by a growing small-business ecosystem and an influx of high-net-worth residents relocating from higher-tax states.

This firm generated $148,125 in annual revenue with $132,890 in discretionary cash flow — an impressive 89.7% cash flow margin that reflects the lean operating structure typical of owner-operated CPA practices. At a 2.1x multiple on cash flow, the asking price of $275,000 is well within the range that acquisition financing can support, making this accessible to buyers who don't want to deploy all-cash.

This deal suits a CPA looking to step into ownership, a regional accounting firm expanding its Broward presence, or a financial services professional seeking a recurring-revenue business with minimal overhead. Key due diligence areas: client tenure and mix (individual vs. business clients), lease terms on office space, and the seller's willingness to stay on for a 6–12 month transition to protect client relationships.

Miami-Dade Advertising Agency: $1,095,000 Asking — 2.3x Multiple

A full-service advertising agency in Miami-Dade County is listed at $1,095,000, representing a mid-market acquisition opportunity in one of the most vibrant creative and marketing hubs in the Southeast. Miami's advertising sector benefits from proximity to Latin American markets, a bilingual talent pool, and a growing roster of national brands establishing regional headquarters in South Florida.

The agency posted $1,157,093 in annual revenue with $474,381 in discretionary cash flow — a 2.3x earnings multiple that reflects solid operational efficiency for a creative services business. Revenue at this scale typically indicates a diversified client base across multiple verticals, reducing the concentration risk that plagues smaller agencies. The cash flow margin of approximately 41% is healthy for the industry.

The ideal acquirer is a marketing professional, a larger agency seeking a Miami-Dade toehold, or a private equity buyer building a regional marketing services platform. Due diligence priorities: client contract terms and renewal rates, key employee retention (creative and account management talent is the core asset), and the breakdown of revenue by service line (digital, traditional, production, etc.).

Palm Beach County Advertising Agency: $1,250,000 Asking — 3.1x Multiple

Palm Beach County's advertising and marketing sector caters to a distinctly affluent clientele — luxury real estate developers, high-end hospitality brands, and wealth management firms that demand premium creative work and are willing to pay for it. This Palm Beach advertising agency, listed at $1,250,000, is positioned squarely in that premium segment, with revenue and cash flow figures that reflect the county's higher-margin market dynamics.

Annual revenue of $1,546,153 and cash flow of $409,128 produce a 3.1x earnings multiple — reasonable for a Palm Beach market business where client relationships carry significant long-term value. The revenue-to-cash-flow ratio suggests the agency carries some overhead (likely staff and production costs), which is typical for agencies serving high-touch luxury clients who expect white-glove service.

This acquisition suits a buyer who wants to operate in Palm Beach's premium market or an existing agency looking to acquire a book of high-value clients. Due diligence should examine client contract lengths, the agency's proprietary creative assets and brand relationships, and whether key account relationships are tied to the current owner or to the agency as an institution.

Palm Beach CPA Practice: $900,000 Asking — 4.4x Multiple

Rounding out today's featured deals is a Palm Beach County CPA practice listed at $900,000. Palm Beach County's accounting market is driven by a large population of retirees, business owners, and high-net-worth individuals who require sophisticated tax planning, estate advisory, and business accounting services — creating a stable, recurring demand that makes CPA practices in this market particularly resilient.

The firm generated $850,000 in annual revenue with $204,000 in discretionary cash flow, yielding a 4.4x earnings multiple. While the multiple is higher than the other deals featured today, it reflects the premium Palm Beach market commands and the likely depth of the client relationships. Revenue at $850K suggests a well-established practice with multiple service lines and a mature client base.

This is a premium acquisition for a buyer with the capital and credentials to step into a sophisticated Palm Beach practice. The ideal acquirer is an experienced CPA or accounting firm principal who can maintain the high-touch service standards Palm Beach clients expect. Due diligence focus: client demographics and longevity, service mix (tax vs. advisory vs. audit), and the seller's transition plan for introducing the new owner to key clients.

The Bottom Line

Today's BBF MLS data showcases five South Florida professional services businesses — spanning tax practices, CPA firms, and advertising agencies across Broward, Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach counties — with earnings multiples ranging from 1.5x to 4.4x.
