A little bit about Greg and Ping...

We are a husband-and-wife team who come to Barker Business Brokerage with extensive business and accounting backgrounds. We both have accountancy degrees but with Greg coming from a Chartered Accountancy background, it is where we have found our niche. 

After 6 years of business broking and significant experienced gained, we specialise in the sale of accountancy practices. Whether you are a Chartered Accountant with a multimillion-dollar client base or a work from home sole trader, we can help you. Buying or selling, a call to us will set you on the path to achieving your goals.

Very few business brokers in New Zealand specialise in the sale of accountancy-based practices or have the industry experience we have. Working in the industry has provided us with a large number of contacts and we are well plugged into this market with both active buyers and sellers. 

31 accountancy practices sold in the last 2 years is a proven track record, and with opportunities from $200,000 to over $2,000,000 our understanding of both the operational and financial aspects of your business will ensure you are well set to maximise your returns.  

If you are a Chartered Accountant, Accountant or Bookkeeper and you are looking to expand your practice by acquisition, giving Greg a call is the best way to achieve your goals. If after years in the industry you are now considering a different direction, give Greg a call and he will help you develop an exit path that will ensure your clients are well looked after into the future.

We understand the challenges vendors face when running a business. We have bought and sold businesses, and recognise the need for open and honest communication. Ping loves helping people achieve their goals; originally from Malaysia she has been in New Zealand for over 25 years and is well placed to help people from a variety of ethnic backgrounds. If you are an accountant with clients looking to sell their businesses, give one of us a call and we will ensure your valued clients are truly looked after with sound professional advice. 

As Business Brokers working together, we have combined our strengths to provide a service that is diligent and professional, with a good, clear consistent level of communication to all parties. We strive to minimise stress for both buyer and seller by taking care of detail and will work all hour’s necessary. If you are working with us, we will take the time to get to know you and build your trust, while gaining an understanding of your needs. 

If looking at selling or buying an accountancy-based practice, give Greg a call for a chat anytime.

TESTIMONIAL:

I recently sold my accountancy practice with the help of Greg Tapper of Barkers Business Brokers.
Greg and I had been in contact over the past two years where he would give me the latest trends on selling a practice.
I wasn’t sure whether I was ready to sell and retire which was taken on board by Greg and at no time was any sales pitch or pressure to sell made.
He would keep in touch by the odd phone call and given his expertise and experience in selling accountancy practises was always a worthwhile chat.
As an accountant we supposedly have the skills to value a business however the market may dictate differently.
This is where Greg’s true value came to play and I’m pleased to say that the sale price achieved was far greater than the other options I had considered.
We often balk when we are presented with fees but we shouldn’t let this predetermine the outcome.
We are not marketers and sometimes we need to take a step back and let others use their expertise which Greg has in this field.
I thoroughly recommend having a chat with Greg if you are considering selling even if it is not in the immediate future.
