Intro – Self-Funded Searcher | Accounting Practices & Absentee Laundromats | Houston, TX
My name is Zach Sellers. I'm a finance and accounting professional based in Houston, TX, and the founder of Sellers Property Finance (SPF), a fractional controller services firm currently serving a 23-entity real estate portfolio. I'm building toward financial independence through acquisitions under my holding company, Sellers Family Holdings LLC. What I'm targeting: My primary focus is accounting and bookkeeping practices — ideally Texas-based, $200K–$500K asking price, 40%+ recurring revenue, staff in place, and remote/virtual-friendly. The thesis is straightforward: my background accelerates due diligence, I can step into a client-facing controller role on day one, and the acquisition directly expands SPF's revenue base. Secondary target is absentee-run coin laundromats — minimum $350K revenue, 2.25x SDE ceiling, DSCR floor of 1.35x, manager cost treated as a hard expense (not an addback). Deal structure preference: Seller financing first. Seller note with small cash down second. SBA 7(a) is viable but last on the stack. Self-funded and owner-operated — not looking to syndicate. What I can offer the community: I spend a lot of time inside small business financials — normalizing earnings, identifying classification errors, and spotting intercompany issues that change the real picture of a deal. If you're staring at a CIM or seller-provided P&L and want a second set of eyes from someone who does this daily, feel free to reach out. Happy to be a resource, especially on service businesses and real estate-adjacent deals. Looking to connect with: Anyone who has acquired an accounting or bookkeeping firm (deal structure, transition, client retention) Laundromat operators or buyers — particularly in Texas SBA lenders who've worked Main Street deals in the $300K–$600K range Anyone else on the self-funded path targeting Main Street businesses Thanks in advance — looking forward to learning from this community.
