Buying a CPA firm? Most people only hear about a deal once it's closed. This episode pulls back the curtain on the active deals at White Tiger Connections.

Host Rich Romero and Geoff Bruskin walk through the current slate of opportunities across different sizes, structures, and buyer profiles. They cover what makes each one worth a look, where the real value sits, and what a serious buyer needs to bring to the table.

With about 85,000 accounting firms in the U.S. and a wave of owners heading toward retirement, the window for buyers is narrower than it looks, and talent is the piece most buyers have to solve. You'll also hear why buyer demand is so strong while sellers are scarce, and how to approach each deal with open eyes. If you're looking at accounting firm acquisitions, this is a rare look at what a live pipeline looks like at the back end of 2026.
