Preserving Legacies, Growing Together

We partner with high-quality, community-rooted accounting firms, offering thoughtful and flexible solutions for firm owners who are looking to transition out of their business—either partially or fully—or who want to grow their firms with a trusted ally.

A Partnership You Can Count On

When you choose to partner with us, you’re choosing a supportive, flexible, and trusted team that understands your needs. Our approach is built around collaboration, respect, and a shared commitment to long-term success.

Confidence and Clarity in the Process

We prioritize transparency, integrity, and reliability. We’ve successfully acquired 12 accounting offices and have been involved in over 50 transactions. With a 93% close rate on Letters of Intent (LOIs) executed as agreed, we work hard to build and maintain the trust we’ve earned over the years. You can feel confident that we’ll follow through on the terms we set together, ensuring a smooth and straightforward process.

Flexibility to Transition on Your Terms

We know how much you’ve dedicated to building your firm, and we’re here to ensure your next chapter unfolds on your terms with a personalized plan that honors your legacy—whether you’re ready to transition fully or stay involved in a way that works for you. By understanding the role you’ve played in your firm’s success, we provide the support and resources to empower the right people to step up. Over 90% of firm owners who’ve partnered with us remain engaged in their offices, reflecting the long-lasting relationships we’ve built with those who trust us to help them move forward.

A Partnership Built on Shared Success

We believe that when you succeed, we succeed. That’s why we create flexible, creative deal structures that align our interests and help you maximize the value of the firm you’ve built. Of the 14 sellers we’ve partnered with, all are on track to exceed their original contingent payment targets—thanks to the growth we’ve achieved together. This year, we expect average contingent payments to exceed targets by 30%, offering more than traditional deals while reducing the risks sellers typically face.

Committed to Your People

We understand that your clients and staff are the heart of your firm. With a net revenue retention of over 95% since our inception, we demonstrate our commitment to maintaining exceptional service and relationships post-acquisition. Less than 5% of professionals who joined through acquisitions have left, reflecting our supportive environment and ability to build strong teams in an industry facing staffing challenges. At RMW, we’re dedicated to preserving your legacy through your clients, staff, and firm values.

Our Approach

We provide our network of offices with innovative technology, valuable resources, and a collaborative environment to foster their growth and maintain the highest level of service for their clients.

Owner Retirements:
Full Transition, Full Support

If you’ve spent one too many April 15th deadlines in the trenches and are ready to transition out, we’re here to help. Our Corporate Support Center team is ready to take over back-office functions and assist you in passing the torch for client service and leadership responsibilities. If needed, we’ll also help you find the right external talent to fill any gaps, ensuring a seamless transition for your team and clients.

Sole Proprietor Partial Retirements:
Stay Involved, On Your Terms

If you're looking to ease into retirement but still want to stay connected to your business, we’ll work with you to create a transition plan that fits your lifestyle. Whether you prefer a part-time, year-round role or something seasonal, we’ll design a solution that lets you remain engaged without the full-time commitment.

Partner Buyouts / Partial Ownership Transitions:
Moving Forward Together

Sometimes, even the best partnerships evolve, and you may find that your personal and professional priorities no longer align with your current partners. If you’re ready to move on but want to ensure your business continues to thrive, we provide the capital and operational support to help you exit while supporting the remaining partners in scaling the business to new heights.
