Holistic estate planning and asset protection.

Intern

I help families and small businesses plan for the future by crafting a life and estate plan. 

Together, we’ll plan for what we know will happen (death) as well as what might happen. We’ll plan to protect assets from creditors, predators, and spenders.  We’ll maximize family harmony.

I also help individuals and families with the buying and selling of real estate as well as adoptions.

Founder / Fractional CFO

Talbott & Co. is a fractional CFO, tax resolution and planning, and consulting firm serving companies anywhere in the USA.

RightExit™ is now RightExit®
Trademark Registered! 

After speaking with some attorney friends I felt like this was something I could do on my own. 

I made a few mistakes but lucked out with a trademark examiner who actually called me and helped me correct the issues.

Now
9 months later
The trademark for RightExit is registered!

After seeing what happened to Keeper (now Double), and a few others, I'm really glad I took this step

I'm no Trademark attorney
but if anyone has questions about the process
I'll tell you what I experienced

Daniel Talbott, EA, CEPA

Founder, Managing Broker at RightExit® | Main Street M&A Advisor | We work with CAS Accounting and Financial Advisory firms

Our Buyer vetting process is a non-negotiable

Doesn’t matter who you are. 

At RightExit™ we specialize in helping sellers find the next steward for their legacy. 

If you want more than a confidential business review, we need:

• Bio/Resume (for you or your operator)
• Information on your firm (if applicable)
• Financial Info and Proof of Funds 
• Lender prequalification or investor commitment letters
• Brief outline of your business acquisition plans

I’ve gotten this information from owners of firms doing $400k, $4 million, and $40 million.

So I don’t care how big your firm is or how many times you’ve done this. 

I’m not shortcutting our process because it is designed with the best interest of our Sellers in mind. 

Your inconvenience is of little consequence to us.

Being a jerk about it on our first call is the best way to get disqualified. 

In my experience

If the intro call isn’t enjoyable 

Due diligence will be a nightmare

And the deal almost certainly won’t close

Just a PSA for anyone interested in working with us and one of our Sellers. 

/rant

I get this disappointed “Oh” when firm owners schedule a call about boosting their firms’ value 


Like I’m holding back some secret sauce to make your firm worth more

Truth is… I post all of it right here on LinkedIn

You probably already know what you need to do

It’s also probably the thing you’re avoiding

CAS Accounting firms sell for 4-6x Adjusted EBIT

$1 million = 4x

$2 million = 5x

$3 million = 6x

The quality of your earnings will determine if you get a ➕ or ➖ adjustment to value


Do you do any of these?

☑️ Recruit, Hire, Train, and Retain Talent

☑️ Market and Sell your Services

☑️ Deliver Services

If you do, your firm is worth a little less ➖


Does your firm have any of these qualities?

☑️ No one client more than 5% revenue

☑️ Established client or service niche

☑️ Remote work and cloud tech

If it does, your firm is worth a little more ➕


That’s all…

It’s just the value of the opportunities minus the cost of the risks

Sorry it isn’t fancier


———

If you’re still interested in what your firm is worth in today’s market… or who should buy it… let me know

RightExit™ specializes in the exit planning and brokering of CAS Accounting (Bookkeeping>CFO) and Financial Advisory business sales.  

You could say we’re the trusted advisors to trusted advisors
