I am a qualified accountant looking for acquiring a small practice to be able of working from home.
The ideal size will be £40-50K annual turnover.
Please PM me if you got one or have contact
Many thanks

Have you perhaps "got McGinn, Super John McGinn, I just don't think you understand?"
He is, I believe, a very nice chap, my daughter and her other half bumped into him at the Sunderland Checkatrade final at Wembley earlier in the year. (Her other half is with Hibernian so knew him)
Yes, you got that right! What a player the lad is. Don't think he will be with us for much longer though :(
Wife and kids are Hibs season ticket holders and daughter's boyfriend is in the Hibs media team, so even not being a Hibs supporter myself ( I was when younger more drawn to the Edinburgh Dark Side) I saw him in a few games for them before his move south; he is a class act, I worried his pace might be an issue in England but seems to be coping fine.
First time I saw him was in a match warm up, balls pinging across the pitch, he trapped virtually all of them stone dead.
I maintain a list of the top platforms where businesses are advertised for sale:

There are several business brokers who specialise in the sale of accountancy practices but, TBH, they are unlikely to have very small (£50K) opportunities on their books so it may not be worth approaching them.
Deal sourcing is a skill in itself and there are buy-side brokers like Chelsea Corporate who'll charge a monthly retainer to generate leads (potential acquisitions). I wouldn't recommend them for a deal this small, it's too expensive.
Your best best is to use the above platforms.
You could also approach firms directly - buy a list and start posting some letters.
I disagree about the small fee size being a barrier. The usual accountancy brokers will be able to help the OP, Draper Hinks, Vivian Sram, etc.
