Acquire the Right Firm. Accelerate Your Growth.
Strategic acquisition targeting, delivered under a simple monthly retainer. No success fees.
1. Define Your Criteria
Geography, service lines, partner composition, revenue mix, specialties, culture, succession appetite; we build your acquisition profile with precision.
2. Target & Outreach
We research, identify, and initiate conversations with firms that match your criteria. You stay informed without managing the outreach.
3. Vet & Validate
We assess strategic fit, cultural alignment, brand considerations, leadership objectives, and market-position risks before you spend time in a room with them.
4. Connect You
You move forward with targets that are real, interested, and aligned. We facilitate introductions, coordinate next steps, and ensure both sides enter the conversation informed and prepared.
WHY HOLLINDEN
Accounting-firm growth is our world, and has been for decades.
Our team has guided firms through mergers, transitions, rebrands, partner succession, and strategic growth decisions. We understand the people side, the brand side, and the operational realities that make or break an acquisition.

Our acquisition-targeting work is guided by the expertise of Christine Hollinden, CPSM, CEPA, CM&AA, CVGA — a nationally recognized advisor in M&A, exit planning, and value growth for professional-services firms.
We’re not brokers.
We are strategic advisors who stay aligned with your goals.
Before any engagement begins, we start with a simple, focused conversation. Think of it as a strategic checkpoint: a chance for you to share where your firm is headed and for us to understand what you want an acquisition to achieve. No commitment.

-
Your timeline and level of readiness
-
What you’ve tried so far, and what’s been frustrating
