Second Edition

We’ve recently updated this book to provide the latest on partner retirement/buyout plans for you. 

Partners in CPA firms are the greatest examples in the business world of the concept of deferred compensation – their buyout payments when they retire. The amounts paid to each retired partner range from several hundred thousand to $1-3M. Sizable sums indeed! New generations of partners are taking control of their firms. They’re confronted with two factors, among others, that are affecting their buyout: an outdated retirement/buyout plan and the invasion of private equity causing some firms to rethink how they value their firm.

The following have been ADDED to our newest edition:

  • How to protect the firm from unaffordable buyouts
  • Behaviors and actions by retiring partners that could cause their buyout to be reduced
  • Why valuations used in a firm sale are different than those used for internal purposes
  • Dealing with a senior partner who wants to work forever
  • How to compensate a part-time retired partner
  • New trends including non-equity partners in buyout plans

Other topics include:

  • What partners must do to get their buyout money
  • How to value a firm’s goodwill
  • 6 methods of determining an individual partner’s buyout
  • How buyout payments are impacted by client loss
  • Vesting
  • Notice and client transition requirement
  • Why a mandatory retirement policy makes sense
  • Tax implications of partner retirement payments
  • 6 ways that partners leave the firm: how each impacts buyout payments
  • Non-compete and non-solicitation covenants
  • The perils of staying silent on payment of goodwill-based benefits
