4 South Florida Business Deals: Tax, CPA & Advertising Practices from $900K to $7M

South Florida's professional services sector continues to generate compelling acquisition opportunities for buyers who know where to look. Today's market features four active listings across Miami-Dade and Palm Beach counties — spanning tax practices, CPA firms, and an advertising agency — with earnings multiples ranging from 2.4x to 5.7x. Here's a close look at each deal.

Miami-Dade Tax Practice: $7,000,000 Asking — 2.4x Earnings Multiple on $2.9M Cash Flow

This is one of the most significant professional services listings currently active in South Florida. A well-established tax practice based in Miami-Dade County is on the market at $7,000,000, backed by $6,253,689 in annual revenue and $2,895,827 in discretionary earnings — a 2.4x earnings multiple that is exceptionally low for a firm of this scale and stability.

The financials tell a compelling story: nearly $6.3M in top-line revenue with a 46% cash flow margin signals a lean, well-run operation. For context, comparable professional services firms of this size often trade at 4x–6x earnings. A 2.4x multiple here suggests motivated seller pricing or a structured deal designed to move quickly.

The ideal buyer is a private equity group, a regional accounting firm looking to expand its South Florida footprint, or a high-net-worth individual with accounting credentials. Due diligence should focus on client concentration (how many clients represent the bulk of revenue), staff retention post-sale, and the nature of recurring vs. one-time engagements. At this multiple, even modest client attrition leaves significant margin for the acquirer.

Miami-Dade Advertising Agency: $2,500,000 Asking — 3.9x Multiple on $633K Cash Flow

A full-service advertising agency in Miami-Dade County is available at $2,500,000, generating $2,099,877 in annual revenue and $633,794 in discretionary cash flow — a 3.9x earnings multiple. This is a mid-market creative business with real scale: over $2M in billings and a cash flow margin of roughly 30%.

Advertising agencies with established client relationships and recurring retainer revenue are among the most defensible small businesses in South Florida's competitive market. This firm's revenue base suggests a diversified client mix, which reduces concentration risk and supports a smoother ownership transition. The 3.9x multiple is reasonable for a creative services firm with this revenue profile.

Strategic buyers — whether a larger agency seeking a Miami-Dade presence, a marketing executive ready to go independent, or a holding company building a services portfolio — will find this deal worth a close look. Key due diligence areas: client contract terms and renewal rates, key-person dependency on the current owner, and the composition of the creative/account team. A well-structured earnout could bridge any valuation gap and align seller incentives with a smooth handoff.

Palm Beach CPA Practice: $900,000 Asking — 4.4x Multiple on $204K Cash Flow

An established CPA practice in Palm Beach County is listed at $900,000, with $850,000 in annual revenue and $204,000 in discretionary cash flow — a 4.4x earnings multiple. Palm Beach County's affluent demographic base makes it one of Florida's most attractive markets for accounting and financial services businesses, where high-net-worth clients tend to be sticky and long-tenured.

The revenue-to-cash-flow ratio here (24% margin) is typical for a CPA practice with staff overhead, suggesting a team-based operation rather than a solo practitioner book. That's actually a positive for buyers: it means the business has infrastructure, systems, and client relationships that extend beyond the owner — reducing transition risk significantly.

This deal is best suited for a licensed CPA or accounting firm looking to acquire an established client base in one of Florida's wealthiest counties. Due diligence should prioritize client tenure and demographics, staff credentials and retention plans, and the mix of tax vs. advisory vs. audit work. At $900K with $204K in annual cash flow, a buyer using SBA financing could see strong debt-service coverage from day one.

Palm Beach Tax Practice: $995,000 Asking — 5.7x Multiple on $175K Cash Flow

A Palm Beach County tax practice is on the market at $995,000, with $660,000 in annual revenue and $175,386 in discretionary cash flow — a 5.7x earnings multiple. While the multiple is higher than the other deals featured today, the Palm Beach location and established client base justify a premium for the right buyer.

Tax practices in Palm Beach County benefit from a client base that skews toward higher-income individuals and small business owners — clients who tend to have complex returns, generate higher per-client fees, and remain loyal to trusted advisors for decades. The $660K revenue figure suggests a mid-sized practice with meaningful scale beyond a solo operation.

The ideal acquirer is a tax professional or CPA firm seeking to expand in Palm Beach County without building from scratch. Due diligence focus areas: seasonal revenue concentration (tax season vs. year-round), client demographics and average fee per return, and whether the current owner is willing to provide a transition period. A seller willing to stay on for 6–12 months post-close can dramatically reduce client attrition risk and justify the 5.7x asking multiple.

The Bottom Line

Today's South Florida market offers a rare spread of professional services deals — from an institutional-scale Miami-Dade tax practice at a 2.4x multiple to established Palm Beach CPA and tax firms priced for qualified buyers. Whether you're an individual practitioner, a regional firm, or a strategic acquirer, these listings represent real opportunities with real numbers behind them.
