  • Palm Beach Tax Practice asking $995,000 — $175,386 cash flow on $660,000 revenue at a 5.7x multiple. Seasonal revenue model with loyal client retention — ideal for a CPA looking to expand.

South Florida's business-for-sale market continues to offer a diverse mix of professional services and consumer-facing opportunities across Broward, Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach counties. Today's new listings span entry-level acquisitions to premium mid-market deals — here's what's worth your attention right now.

Miami-Dade Advertising Agency: $2,500,000 Asking — 3.9x Cash Flow Multiple

This established Miami-Dade County advertising agency brings a full-service media and creative operation to market at $2,500,000. With $2,099,877 in annual revenue and a diversified client portfolio, this is a business with real market presence and proven billing relationships — not a startup story.

The financials are compelling: $633,794 in discretionary earnings against a $2.5M asking price yields a 3.9x earnings multiple — well within the range serious buyers target for established service businesses. Annual revenue of $2.1M demonstrates the agency's ability to win and retain meaningful accounts in a competitive South Florida market.

The ideal buyer is an experienced operator in marketing, media, or communications — either a strategic acquirer looking to bolt on a Miami-Dade footprint or a financial buyer comfortable managing a creative team. Due diligence should focus on client concentration (how many accounts make up the bulk of revenue), contract terms and renewal rates, and key-person dependency among the creative staff. At 3.9x, this is priced to move for the right buyer.

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

A well-established Palm Beach County CPA practice is now available at $900,000, offering a buyer immediate entry into a recurring-revenue professional services business. With $850,000 in annual revenue and a loyal client base built over years of consistent service, this practice represents the kind of stable, predictable income stream that acquirers in the accounting space actively seek.

At $204,000 in discretionary cash flow, the 4.4x earnings multiple is reasonable for a CPA practice with this revenue profile. Accounting firms typically command 1x–1.5x annual revenue in valuation — this listing sits right in that range, suggesting the seller has priced it fairly for a qualified buyer. The $850,000 revenue base also provides meaningful room for a new owner to grow through expanded advisory services or additional client acquisition.

This deal suits a licensed CPA or accounting firm looking to acquire a book of business rather than build one from scratch. Key due diligence areas: client retention history (especially around any prior ownership transitions), the mix of individual vs. business clients, and whether the current owner is willing to provide a transition period. A structured earnout tied to client retention could make this an even more attractive structure for both sides.

Palm Beach Tax Practice: $995,000 Asking — 5.7x Multiple with Loyal Client Base

Also out of Palm Beach County, this tax practice is listed at $995,000 with $660,000 in annual revenue and $175,386 in discretionary cash flow. The 5.7x multiple is on the higher end for a tax-focused practice, but the story here is client loyalty and recurring seasonal revenue — the kind of business that keeps clients coming back year after year without heavy marketing spend.

Tax practices with established client relationships often command premium multiples precisely because of that retention dynamic. A buyer who can layer in year-round advisory services — bookkeeping, payroll, financial planning — has a clear path to improving both revenue and cash flow, which would quickly compress that 5.7x multiple into a more attractive range. The $660,000 revenue base is a solid foundation for that kind of expansion.

The ideal acquirer is a tax professional or CPA firm looking to grow their Palm Beach County presence through acquisition. Due diligence should prioritize client file review, the percentage of revenue from repeat vs. new clients, and the seller's willingness to introduce the buyer to key accounts during a transition period. West Palm Beach and Boca Raton buyers should take particular note — this is a rare Palm Beach County tax practice at this price point.

Broward County Pet Grooming: $275,000 — $430K Revenue, Growth Story

A Broward County pet grooming business rounds out today's new listings at $275,000, with $430,158 in annual revenue. The current cash flow of $14,337 is modest relative to the asking price, but the top-line revenue tells a different story — this is a business generating real customer volume that a hands-on owner-operator could convert into significantly stronger margins.

Pet grooming is a resilient, recession-resistant sector in South Florida, where pet ownership rates are high and discretionary spending on pets remains strong even in softer economic environments. The $430K revenue base suggests an established appointment book and repeat clientele — the raw material for a turnaround or optimization play. A buyer with grooming experience or salon management background who can tighten labor costs and improve scheduling efficiency could meaningfully improve cash flow within the first year.

This listing is best suited for an owner-operator or a buyer already in the pet services space looking to add a Broward County location. Due diligence should focus on the cost structure (labor as a percentage of revenue is the key lever), lease terms, and whether the current owner is the primary groomer or has a team in place. At $275,000 with $430K in revenue, the upside is real for the right buyer willing to roll up their sleeves.

The Bottom Line

Today's South Florida new listings offer something for buyers at every level — from a $275,000 Broward pet grooming turnaround to a $2.5M Miami-Dade advertising agency with a 3.9x multiple. The Palm Beach professional services deals (CPA at 4.4x, tax practice at 5.7x) represent the kind of stable, recurring-revenue businesses that rarely stay on the market long once qualified buyers engage.
