Join Bruce Clark, the founder and CEO of New Clients, Inc., as he shares insights from his extensive experience in the accounting practice sales market. Over nearly four decades, Bruce has successfully closed thousands of practice sales and has earned a reputation as one of the country’s leading brokers. In this session, participants will explore the recent dramatic increase in private equity buyers, personal investors, and venture capital firms pursuing accounting practices for sale, and the subsequent competition these buyers are creating for firms. 

Attendees will explore what today’s buyers are looking for, from revenue benchmarks to client demographics, and how sellers can position their firms for maximum value. If you are considering selling or buying a practice, this session will offer key insights into trends, challenges, and opportunities for buyers and sellers to effectively navigate the competitive landscape.

He spent 14 years as marketing director of his father’s firm, Garden Accounting Service, and, in 1987, established NCI. For several years, Bruce also owned and operated his own accounting firm, which he successfully sold in 1987.  A dedicated practitioner of the Korean martial art, Tang Soo Do, Bruce has earned the rank of 5th-degree black belt, giving him the respected title of Master Clark.

Since establishing NCI, Bruce and his team have conducted over 350 seminars nationwide and trained over 4,000 accountants on how to develop a successful practice and live a balanced lifestyle. As a complement to NCI’s focus on training and development, Bruce and his team have listed and sold hundreds of accounting firms nationwide, many of whom were NCI clients who built their firms using NCI’s sales and marketing techniques.

Bruce is the author of two books. The first, NCI Effect: Explosive Client Growth Plan for Accountants and CPAs, is the culmination of practice growth results for thousands of accountants worldwide.
