RNR is a buyer-led platform focused exclusively on CPA and accounting firm M&A across Canada and the United States.
We work with accounting firms, strategic acquirers, investors and capital partners to identify opportunities, connect buyers with firm owners and support transactions from introduction through close.
Referral Benefits
Benefits are paid once the corresponding RNR fee is collected.
The Program
RNR works closely with professionals across the accounting, legal, finance and investment communities who often have early visibility into succession, growth and capital needs.
The RNR Referral Partner Program gives us a simple way to recognize those trusted introductions. When an introduction creates a meaningful opportunity, RNR takes responsibility for the conversation, buyer matching and transaction process from there.
You may already be close to a firm owner or buyer before they ever enter the market.
Succession: Owner beginning to think about transition
Sale / Merger: Firm exploring strategic options
Growth Capital: Firm considering an investment partner
Acquisition: Buyer looking for its next CPA firm
Benefits
Program 01
Know a CPA firm owner exploring what comes next?
Many firm owners begin thinking about succession, a sale, merger or outside investment well before they formally go to market.
A confidential introduction is all that is required. There is no expectation that the firm is actively looking to sell, and the referral partner does not need to manage the process or participate in negotiations.
RNR takes it from there.

referral recognition
The referral applies to the initial buyer introduction and engagement and does not create an ongoing entitlement to future transactions completed by that buyer.
Simple Process
Connect RNR with the relevant owner, partner or decision-maker.
RNR confirms the introduction has been recorded under the Referral Partner Program.
Our team manages the conversation, matching and transaction process.
Where the applicable milestone is reached and RNR receives its fee, the referral amount is paid.
RNR Referral Partner Values
A referral should be a direct introduction to the relevant owner, partner or decision-maker.
If the firm or buyer is already actively engaged with RNR, we’ll let you know when the introduction is made.
Referral amounts are paid once the corresponding fee has been received by RNR.
Referral partners are not expected to negotiate terms, provide transaction advice or make commitments on RNR’s behalf.
Introductions and conversations are treated confidentially.
RNR will confirm accepted referrals so everyone is clear from the outset.
Have someone in mind?
Whether it is a firm owner beginning to think about succession or a buyer looking for their next acquisition, connect them with RNR and our team will take it from there.
