Greg specialises in the sale of accountancy practices nationwide and premium businesses in the Canterbury region. With an accounting degree and early career experience in Chartered Accountancy firms, he brings strong financial insight and practical commercial judgement to every engagement.

He is one of New Zealand’s most active brokers in the accountancy sector, having successfully appraised and sold a wide range of practices, from sole operators through to multi-partner firms. Greg understands the key drivers of value in a business, including client retention, recurring revenue, and succession planning, and works closely with both vendors and purchasers to manage these dynamics effectively.

While accountancy is his primary area of expertise, Greg is also actively involved in the sale of established, high-quality businesses outside the profession. These typically include larger, profitable businesses in sectors such as professional services, manufacturing, import/export, and niche growth industries.

Greg takes a hands-on approach to each transaction, managing the process from initial appraisal through to completion. This includes preparing information memorandums, screening buyers, and guiding negotiations with a focus on well-structured, confidential, and sustainable outcomes.

He is consistently ranked among Barker Business’s top-performing brokers and works with clients nationwide.

TESTIMONIAL:

I recently sold my accountancy practice with the help of Greg Tapper of Barkers Business Brokers.
Greg and I had been in contact over the past two years where he would give me the latest trends on selling a practice.
I wasn’t sure whether I was ready to sell and retire which was taken on board by Greg and at no time was any sales pitch or pressure to sell made.
He would keep in touch by the odd phone call and given his expertise and experience in selling accountancy practises was always a worthwhile chat.
As an accountant we supposedly have the skills to value a business however the market may dictate differently.
This is where Greg’s true value came to play and I’m pleased to say that the sale price achieved was far greater than the other options I had considered.
We often balk when we are presented with fees but we shouldn’t let this predetermine the outcome.
We are not marketers and sometimes we need to take a step back and let others use their expertise which Greg has in this field.
I thoroughly recommend having a chat with Greg if you are considering selling even if it is not in the immediate future.

Auckland Bookkeeping Fees

Here’s something a bit different – a well-established bookkeeping business that works exclusively with one franchise group, supporting both the franchisor and the franchisees with not only bookkeeping but also other wrap-around services. It is a business that can be run from anywhere in the country according to my vendor, even with most clients in Auckland. The franchisor is offshore, and this business supports him so would really suit a hands-on operator with capacity to grow the opportunity.
