About CPA Deal Desk

Where accounting firms plan, position, and transition.

Built by People Who Know Accounting Firms

A structured, confidential marketplace for firm transitions, designed around how CPA firms actually work.

The Problem We Built This to Fix

CPA firm transitions too often happen in a fragmented, opaque market where strong firms get overlooked, buyers struggle to find the right fit, and owners are pushed into rushed, broker-driven processes. CPA Deal Desk brings structure, clarity, and discretion, backed by real experience helping firms grow, prepare for transition, and navigate acquisitions from both sides of the table.

Why This Platform Exists

CPA Deal Desk gives owners who want to grow or sell their firm a smarter starting point, with visibility that respects confidentiality, structure that keeps things simple, and access that never requires giving up control. By focusing on readiness, presentation, and fit, we help drive better conversations, stronger alignment, and better outcomes.

CPA Deal Desk is guided by Christine Hollinden, a nationally recognized advisor in mergers and acquisitions, exit planning, and value growth for professional services firms, with a deep specialization in accounting. Christine has spent years helping accounting firms grow, streamline operations, and prepare for major transitions. She has supported firms and founders on both the buy and sell side, including acquisitions, mergers, private-equity backed integrations, and multi-partner exits.
