I’m in the early stages of acquiring residential and commercial businesses, and I’m quickly realizing that the process is far more complex than it appears from the outside. I’m looking for an accountant or attorney with experience in business acquisitions who can guide me through the entire process—from initial evaluation and due diligence to closing and post‑acquisition integration. This will not be a one‑time engagement. I plan to purchase multiple companies, and I’m seeking a professional who can grow with me as my portfolio expands. If you have recommendations for someone who specializes in small‑business or lower‑middle‑market acquisitions, I would appreciate the referral.
