The NCI Advantage

Why Pay More? Especially When You Don’t Have To

NCI offers outstanding practice sales service at a lower cost than most of our competitors. Our standard 10% commission rate is between 1.5% to 3.5% less than many other practice sales and business brokers.

You’ll pay less and receive more. There are many qualities and skills that go into being an excellent practice sales professional – integrity, in-depth market knowledge, marketing savvy, effective negotiation skills and a high-quality professional network, all of which are hallmarks of how we work.

That said, in our experience as accounting practice sales specialists, we’ve found that providing the very best service is essentially about putting our clients first. This means being accessible, being a good listener as well as a good communicator, and responding quickly to your needs.

This client-first philosophy has always been our approach and it requires us to continually improve our skills and ways of doing business. In addition, we’ve found that the latest technologies are enabling us to do everything we’ve always done, only much more quickly and efficiently.

We know the sale of your practice is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. We want you to make it with complete confidence that you’re dealing with a company that has over 30 years’ experience in operating, building and selling accounting practices. No one else in the industry can match our combination of:

• Value
• Experience
• Service
• Responsiveness

We have one major advantage over every other broker in the market. We provide the buyer of your practice, our Online Academy free of charge. Our Sales and Marketing Academy is an easy to digest online format that allows you direct access whenever you need it. With our online academy you will learn the most effective sales and marketing system for Accountants, including our newly developed digital marketing strategies. The Academy normally sells for $1,995.00. 

Peace of Mind – For You

Whom would you rather sell to? Someone that is proactive and understands how to grow, or someone that is passive who will just sit on the practice? What if you are financing part of the sale? Now, who do you prefer as a buyer?

We think the answer is clear. With NCI’s experience, guidance and support, we’ll have your practice thriving in the hands of its new owner. This makes for a win, win, win situation for all parties involved, you, NCI and the new owner.
