Go EO specialise in EOT sales
EOT transitions are our primary focus. We offer affordable packages that include independent valuation, tax clearance, and all required legal documents. We do everything in-house, cutting costs and completing the process in just a few months.
Plus, Go EO’s founder, Chris Maslin, has even been through the process himself. He sold his accountancy firm to an EOT in 2021.
Partnering with accountants for EOTs
We can support you with your clients’ EOT sales. We integrate you into the process and have even developed white label tools and resources you can share with your clients. Take our EOT explorer. This online wizard guides founders through a basic valuation, eligibility criteria, and the psychological shift that selling to an EOT entails. This tool will display your branding, contain your contact details, and keep you in control. You remain the key contact through the process and can manage your client relationship the way you want to.

Accountant partnership FAQs
Can Go EO fully white label the EOT sale?
Afraid not, but we’ll work discreetly alongside you.
I’ve heard EOT sales need a solicitor/corporate finance team/tax adviser too. Is that true?
We cover all bases. Our solicitor provision is “light touch”, ensuring we comply with legally reserved work laws (protecting you/us from a potential prison sentence), while not charging huge sums for reinventing the wheel.
Can Go EO invoice me instead of the client?
Transparency is important to us. While we can invoice you, the client must be informed of the amount.
Can I do the valuation work instead of Go EO?
There are two issues with this. Firstly, affordability is more important than valuation. Lots of EOT owned companies struggle to pay their founder debt, as the proposed repayments were wildly optimistic. Secondly, accounting institute guidelines suggest “self-review” and “over-familiarity” harm an accountant's ability to provide a genuinely independent valuation for their own client.
Can I be the independent trustee?
As long as the client’s happy with that, yes. We can make suggestions if asked, but we don’t insist on any particular person being/not being a trustee.
