He not only helped our firm with the sale but ensured the buyers were the right fit for our staff and clients. Thank you Ryan!Posted on Google Garrick FoyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I worked with Ryan as a buyer on a few deals, and then had him ultimately sell my firm last year. Ryan deeply cares, is very knowledgeable about the industry, literally wrote some of the reference guide material :) Thanks Ryan!Posted on Google Ann M CouchTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

C ThomasPosted on Google Kevin BurnettTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ryan was the broker on an acquisition of a CPA practice in Scottsdale last December. He was a pleasure to work with, very knowledgeable and provided me with resources to assist me with the successful purchase of the practice. I would definitely recommend Ryan if you are looking to sell your accounting practice.Posted on Google glenn dietrichTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Merging your firm after 22 years is a big thing, well at least to me it was. Looking back to September 2022 I was a little let down when a large accounting firm brokerage said my deal was too small ($500,000 annual) and it was too complicated due to wanting to carve out a small ownership opportunity for a super staff member. Well then, I met Ryan Gipple. First and fore most he understands how CPA firms work. Talking to him about staffing, billing rates and collections is like talking to a seasoned partner level CPA. I met Ryan in mid-September and we closed on December 31. By mid-October we had met with 5 possible groups and 2 very well-suited firms. The process of scheduling and keeping the discussions on track was seamless. Best of all he tells you up front that he works for me, not anyone else. Due to the quality of the people we met there were no serious points of disagreement but when they appeared Ryan’s experience showed as he would then enter the discussion with the phase “This is how I have seen other firms handle the matter”. I am truly glad I met him.Posted on Google Aaron BlauTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've seen Ryan on both the buyer and the seller side, and find him to be a well-thought advocate for his clients. When I was on the buyer side, he was a smart intermediary between me and a very difficult seller in an ultimately failed transaction (in which I withdrew due to a material change the seller made from the original LOI - not Ryan's fault at all). As a seller, Ryan's pre-listing due diligence made a real difference in the seriousness of the buyer pool. From the moment the listing went out, we had qualified interest, and those individuals had all the data they needed right away to make legitimate offers. Ryan worked with the buyer's financer as well, allowing me to continue doing my own work without disruption. We continue to have a great realtionship, and I highly recommend his services.Posted on Google Bob JohnstonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ryan is an outstanding broker and I had a very positive experience with the sale of my practice.Posted on Google Jay MillerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ryan was excellent in finding my CPA firm a qualified CPA to purchase my firm. I found Ryan was very professional and responsive. I could not be happier with Ryan services. I would recommend Ryan to anyone who is interested in selling or purchasing a CPA firm.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
