I can't say enough great things about Rita! She is absolutely AMAZING?so knowledgeable and generous with her expertise. She provided me with so much valuable information and advice on selling my business, all at no cost. Her insights were incredibly helpful, and she took the time to guide me through every detail. If you're looking for someone who truly knows their stuff and genuinely wants to help, I highly recommend Rita. She is a rare gem in the industry!
Update: I bought a cleaning company with the help of Rita, 9 months ago now. Fast forward, we went from 15k revenue per month to over 100k per month now! Yes we put in a lot of hard work, but a lot of credit goes to Rita because she helped us find the right business that had the right systems in place to grow with. A good foundation so to say. Been talking to Rita about the possibility of selling. We might wait it out a bit more and grow more to get top dollar. But once we are ready, Rita will be the one
Rita went the extra mile to help both the buyer and seller. I was the buyer in this transaction. She was tenacious about the timeline and letting us each know what was needed at each step. She kept things moving on schedule. Thank you Rita for your professionalism and expertise!
I have been searching for a business to buy for several months. I have dealt with many business brokers. Rita Barbato is by far the best and most professional business broker that I have dealt with. She has been a pleasure to deal with. She answers my messages, phone calls, or emails in a timely fashion. Rita carefully listens to my questions and she makes sure that she understands what information I am asking for and then she gets me the answers to my questions quickly. She has great follow up too.

I got full price, all cash, and the perfect buyer for my business. Working with Rita as my business broker was an incredible experience from start to finish. Honestly, when I first started considering selling my business, I didn't even believe it was possible. The thought of finding a buyer who would see the value in what I'd built and pay the price it was worth seemed like a dream. But Rita changed everything for me. She not only convinced me that my business could sell?she gave me the confidence to believ
Rita is an excellent communicator and an extremely hard worker. She always keeps the ball rolling, so that things don't take longer than they should, she makes things HAPPEN, and she always keeps her clients in the loop. I don't think there is any broker that will work as hard as Rita does to sell your business! She is relentless in making things happen quickly, which is what you want when dealing with banks, escrow agencies, and other institutions known to be very slow moving. She sold mine for let's just

Rita is amazing. She will fight for you! This was my first time selling a business. She worked hard to help find a buyer and negotiate with them. She also helped walk me and the buyer through all the necessary legal steps to closing. We will definitely use her again when the time comes for my husband to sell his business. I highly recommend her.

Rita has been an absolute pleasure to work with from the beginning. Not only did she have all the answers I needed. She guided me through every single step to selling my business. She made this very stressful process into, a smooth exciting transition. I was able to trust in her work and sure enough she sold my business in a month getting me a full cash offer of my asking price! If you are looking for a business broker look no further. THANK YOU RITA!
Rita helped my husband and I sell our painting business in San Diego. We got an All Cash Full Price offer and the buyer was a perfect match for our company. Most people don't sell a business more than once in their life so it was uncharted waters for us but we trusted Rita and I'm so glad we went with our gut to hire her. Rita is hard working, kind , honest & does what she sais she's going to do. Through the sale of our business we also made a dear friend for life. Thank you Rita for everything!
I just had to share how awesome my experience was with Rita Barbato at The A list Group. Not only she was incredibly nice, but she also went above and beyond to help me evaluate my business. Rita took the time to really understand my business and provided me with some invaluable insights and advice. I can't recommend Rita enough if you're looking for someone knowledgeable, friendly, and supportive.
Rita is amazing. I am so grateful Rita took the time to advice and guide me regarding the sale of my business. The information that she gave me was so valuable it blew my mind she did not even charge me. I had contacted many brokers for help and she was the only one that took the time and effort to help me. Thank you so much Rita. You are truly amazing. I am so glad I found you.
I got full price all cash for my business. Rita did an excellent job selling my moving business in San Diego. She superseded my expectation. She sold my business at the best price and got me all cash. She found me the best buyer and I could not be more grateful. Rita, I can't thank you enough for allowing me to move on to the next chapter in my life and follow my dreams!
Rita was super helpful and always picked up the phone when I called her! I am so glad I found her. She is extremely knowledgeable and pleasant to work with. Thanks Rita!
Thank you Rita for all your hard work to sell my business! We had a few bumps in the road, but you were always right on top of it and helping to move the process along? You went above and beyond to get it done! In the end, you were able to get my business sold and I was able to walk away with cash in hand, not having to carry any of the financing, which was HUGE! I will highly recommend you to anyone looking to buy or sell a business, you truly know what you are doing. Thank you so much!
I had 2 months to sale my business before I was set to move out of state. Rita went to work and pulled off a miracle and we were able to get the deal done just before I moved. She was very communicative and keep me informed through the entire process. Thank you for your diligence!
Rita is extremely knowledgeable in her industry. She is very personable and is able to think out the box when it comes to seeing the potential in the selling of a business. After speaking to so many business brokers who dismissed my business as not falling within the "typical" business model for evaluation, I finally came across Rita who knew exactly how to approach selling my business and had past experience with my type of business as well. Rita is extremely generous with her time and I am glad that I fou
Rita is a phenomenal business broker. She helped me buy my business. She was on top of everything and got me everything I requested immediately. Rita is experienced, very efficient and quick. My goal is to grow the business but when I am ready to retire in the future, Rita would be the only broker I would use to sell my business.
Rita is amazing. We listed our business for sale with Rita and we have to say we were surprised by her negotiation skills and her persistence. She not only got us the price that we wanted but also, she secured an SBA loan to finance the sale after many banks turned it down. Rita?s experience, knowledge and integrity shines. We will use Rita again when we sell our next business for sure.
I'm on the buyer side of business and I reached out to many brokers inquiring on their business listings for sale and found that many do not respond or take several days to respond. Within an hour of inquiring not only did Rita email me all relevant documents, she called me and took the time to answer all of my questions. Highly recommend!
Rita did an excellent job brokering our purchase for a local business in the San Diego area. Her communication is clear and concise, she makes herself available for questions, and is pleasant to work with. I would use Rita again in the future.
Rita sold my business for all cash. Rita did a great job selling my landscaping business. She is hard working and brought me multiple offers from several buyers. She sold my business to a great buyer all cash and closed in one month. Rita, thank you for doing an amazing job.
I've called Rita on a holiday for help with a business deal. She picks up the phone and immediately starts guiding and helping me so so much!! I'm so grateful I found her! She is very knowledgeable, proactive, easy to communicate, patient, overall, just a pleasure to do business with. I would not go to a business deal without her on my side, when there's so much at stake. I understand why she has really good reviews! Thank you Rita for all your help!! You rock!!!
Rita is the best and answered all my questions. She made me feel very comfortable working the business owner by coaching every step of the way. One the next venture! Do not miss out on her knowledge and expertise, she will definitely set you on the right path. Thanks again Rita!
Just purchased a business and Rita was my broker. She made the transaction seamless and was extremely communicative throughout the whole process. Had an issue with the lender and Rita fought for me until we got the terms I wanted. Her experience as a broker was priceless to me. Wish there were more like her out there that actually care about their clients instead of just filling their pockets. Thank you Rita and I will definitely be using you for any future business acquisitions in the future.
Rita is amazing. Her diligence, tenacity, professionalism and did I say tenacity....it needs a second mention. Rita will guide you through the process letting you know of the required steps and needed reporting to sell your business. She set up sometimes two meetings a day with prospective buyers, none were tire kickers. Her process qualifying buyers, not wasting my time, was much appreciated. You'll know what I mean about tenacity when you hire her. Great experience.
Rita is unbelievable!!! I tried to sell my business for 6 months on my own and I couldn't get it done. I found Rita and I listed my business with her and in one month she brought me the best buyer. We closed and sold my business for all cash in less than 30 days. She is amazing I can not recommend her enough.
Amazing business broker! Cannot recommend Rita enough! She's competent, professional and hard-working. She got us a cash buyer for our family business and we are so grateful! Thanks Rita!
Rita?s wealth of knowledge and experience is unmatched. She is brilliant, a pleasure to work with, and sold my business for a price I thought I could never get. She had amazing talent in overcoming all the obstacles that came up throughout my transaction. If it wasn't for Rita, my deal would not have closed. I feel that she always had my best interest in mind. She is the absolute best!
I am a tax attorney who represented a seller in a just closed transaction where Rita was the Seller's broker. Rita is smart, hard working and a good listener. It was an extremely complicated sale. Rita's tenacity kept the deal alive when the client said --lets just liquidate. Rita found a great buyer. It was excellent that the buyer knew that Rita was straight forward and that allowed the buyer and seller to work out the complexities fairly.
Choosing the right broker shouldn't be difficult, but after dealing with 2 brokers and no results we were referred to Rita. She is GOLD!! You need someone who is tenacious, knows the game, avoids the detours, has a top-level client list and most importantly won't waste your time. It took a year for the other brokers contract to end, we signed with Rita and 5 months later we are SOLD! Rita has the long-term experience and commitment to guide you across the finish line, while getting the results you need. T
I was in much need of some professional advice. I called Rita and she talked to me for 20 minutes over the phone about my situation. She gave me GREAT advice and put my mind at ease. She is easy to talk to and she sure knows her business! Very smart and is a great asset to have on your side if you are buying or selling a business. She has the knowledge you need to get the sale done but also has the integrity very much needed in today's world. Highly recommend her!
I recently worked with Rita on a business sale transaction and she did amazing work! Her persistent follow through and positive attitude made a huge difference in getting this transaction completed for our client. The end result was a significant price for our client's business. Great job Rita!!
Rita is the best at what she does! If you want to sell your business, don't mess around trying to do it yourself, or using a second rate broker... use the best! She's great to work with and since she's licensed and experienced, she has access to the best people and resources to facilitate the sale.
Rita Barbato exceeded our expectations during our listing and sale of our family-owned business. Rita served us with excellence, diligence and attention to detail every step of the way. She was an asset to our team and we are happy to recommend her. We now consider her a friend and wish her the best in her future endeavors.
Rita was very helpful. I called her today after someone asked about buying our business and She helped walk me through a rough evaluation to see if we were even in the Ballpark. I am a real estate broker, so know how important it is to have an expert in on any deal. It may cost a few bucks but we will more than make up for that in increased value - and ease of transaction.
RITA IS THE BEST. She was so sweet to work with and she literally sold our business in 2 months time. She was so knowledgeable and always willing to answer any of our questions. Will definitely choose her again if ever needed!!
Rita was informative and very knowledgeable. She gave me an understanding as to what is needed to sell my business at the price that I want. She provided an evaluation of my business at no charge or obligation and gave me basic business advice as what is required to accomplish my goals. Rita's advice was excellent and I' am so grateful.
It was great Working with Rita! She introduced us to amazing new venture we are Very happy with the deal. I am glad we found her! I recommend her and hopefully will acquire more business in future with her help. Very professional, very quick response all the time and very clear about the business. Thank you Rita! :)
Rita is the best business broker I have ever worked with. She is so knowledgeable, honest, hardworking, and always gets the best results for her clients. I strongly recommend her for anyone who is looking to sell or buy a business. I would never work with anyone else. Rita is absolutely the best.
If I could give Rita 10 stars on this site, I would! She has been very instrumental in evaluating my business and assisting me in putting together the plan to get my business sold for the valuation desired! I would recommend her without hesitation, to anyone who is looking to sell a business and wants to work with a no-nonsense professional.
Rita is the best business realtor in town. I dealt with her when buying my business. If you need someone who goes above and beyond to make the deal happen for you and make sure to have your best interest in mind, she's the one to call. She dealt with the landlord, with the franchise and came up with great ideas to make sure the deal goes through and everyone is happy, while always answering the phone calls and emails. Call her and don't think twice about it when buying or selling a business.
Rita is a true professional. She listens, understands, explains and is one of the great professionals in the business who really does what she says she will. She has excellent communication skills and is skilled at working with people from all walks and classes in life to make them feel comfortable to accomplish whatever goal that has to be met. I am glad to have worked with her and highly recommend her and her firm.
Found Rita online. Set an appoitment and listed my business. Never thought I could sell my business. Rita assured me with my financials she would sell it quick. Turned out she was right. I got full price, all cash and am now retired. I had another broker come in and he wanted to list the business for half of what I actually sold it for. I recommend her highly.
Rita was a joy to work with! We hired her to sell our business and she had multiple offers within a week, we closed a deal within 30 days, and the deal was all cash. She was assertive and got the job done! I would highly recommend working with her. She is wonderful!
Rita was contracted to sell my commercial building and she outperformed my expectations. She is very hard working and diligent about her work. She found a buyer quickly closed the deal and found me a new commercial building for my business. I will use her to someday sell my business without hesitation.
Rita taught us the fundamentals on how to buy a business and what to look for. She is very professional, straight forward, and knowledgeable about her business. Wouldn't recommend anyone else. Thank you Rita!
Rita did a wonderful job as the business broker for the business I purchased -- she was helpful, knowledgeable and stayed on top of all the details during the whole process. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in the market to buy or sell a business!
Rita is positive, persistent and very responsive. I have communicated with many other brokers, and have not yet meet anyone as efficient in communication as Rita. I will definitely work with her again in the future.
This is the 2nd time I used Rita to transact a Business Sale. She was Excellent! I can't say enough about how thorough and ?on top of it? she was getting everything transacted and finalized. I highly recommend her for buying or selling. Jan
She took a few days to respond and said she would not be able to help because of travel. Usually people will say if they wanted to help once I return from travel; then I will be able to assist. She didn't even bother to help.
Had a great experience with Rita. She helped sell our business and was there every step of the way. Definitely recommend.
I saw that Rita had great reviews so I called her to explain what I do and make an appointment for a valuation of my training business. First, she answered her own phone on the second ring. Secondly, she asked a bunch of down to earth questions. Within a few minutes she told me what my business was worth and why. I explained that I was an attorney (but way out of my league in this area) and asked her what I could pay her. She told me there was no charge and asked me to come back if I wanted her to work
Over the past 23 years I have sold or acquired many businesses and have dealt with many business brokers, none of them had been as professional , knowledgeable and hard working as Rita. Her outstanding financial understanding and integrity towards both parties was truly A+++. Thank you for all those moments that we thought this could not go through and you finally made it possible.
Rita was extremely helpful in assisting us in the purchase of our new business. Very quick to respond to all of our questions and concerns. I would highly recommend Rita!
Rita does a great job following up and following through. She is pro-active at finding buyer which is the opposite of what I have found with other agents, who were passive and just waited for the phone to ring.
I've spoken with dozens of business brokers over the past 3-4 months. Rita?s on top of her business and moves at a fast pace. As a buyer, I very much appreciate the way she runs her business
I am a CPA and have worked on many acquisitions. This was a very complex sale and Rita come through for the clients with special results. She is very good at keeping the sale moving to closure. I will be making future referrals to she

Was looking for a house to buy and i came across with Rita not very helpful or professional at all .She had an attitude and was been rude when i talk to her and i just felt she did not wanted to help and I took my savings and time somewhere else where they wanted to hear my options.
She was so helpful and honest and gave me such amazing advise with no benefit to herself other than helping someone she didn't even know.
Rita is very helpful and straight forward, an excellent communicator and hard working, highly recommend her for any Sale or Purchase of a Business

Please fix your torn flag that you are flying.
Look for a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) license, which ensures they’ve passed rigorous exams and meet state requirements. Check for relevant experience in your industry, additional certifications like CFA or CMA, and membership in professional organizations like the AICPA. Verify their credentials through state licensing boards.
Use online directories like the AICPA, CPAverify, or state CPA societies. Search platforms like Yelp or Google for local CPAs with reviews. Ask for referrals from business associates, friends, or financial advisors. Local chambers of commerce can also provide recommendations.
A CPA is a licensed professional who has passed the CPA exam and met state requirements for education and experience. An accountant may lack this certification and could have varying levels of expertise. For complex tasks like tax audits or financial reporting, a CPA is typically more qualified.
Ask about their experience with your specific financial needs, such as tax preparation, small business accounting, or estate planning. Review their website or LinkedIn for case studies or client testimonials. Inquire about their client base to ensure they handle similar financial situations.
Yes, reviews provide insight into a CPA’s reliability, communication, and performance. Check platforms like Google, Yelp, or the Better Business Bureau for client feedback. Look for patterns in reviews, but verify their authenticity, as some may be biased or outdated.
Visit your state’s Board of Accountancy website or use CPAverify.org to check a CPA’s license status. Confirm their license is active and check for any disciplinary actions or complaints. This ensures they’re in good standing and meet professional standards.
Ask about their experience with your financial needs, fee structure, availability, and communication style. Inquire how they handle tax filings, audits, or financial planning. Ask for references or examples of similar work to assess their expertise and fit.
Fees vary based on location, services, and complexity. Basic tax preparation may cost $150-$500, while business accounting or audits can range from $1,000 to $10,000+. Request a detailed fee structure upfront and compare quotes from multiple CPAs.
Yes, many CPAs offer remote services through secure online platforms for document sharing and virtual consultations. Ensure they use encrypted tools for data security. Remote CPAs can be effective if they understand your local tax laws or business regulations.
During consultations, evaluate their ability to explain complex financial concepts clearly. Ask sample questions about taxes or financial strategies and note their responsiveness and clarity. Good communication ensures you understand their advice and fosters a productive relationship.
Beware of CPAs who guarantee specific tax refunds, lack a valid license, or have disciplinary actions on record. Avoid those with poor communication, vague fee structures, or negative reviews highlighting unethical behavior. Always verify their credentials independently.
Large firms offer more resources and specialized teams but may charge higher fees. Solo practitioners often provide personalized service and lower costs but may have limited availability. Choose based on your needs, budget, and preference for personalized attention.
For individuals, annual meetings for tax preparation may suffice. Businesses may need quarterly or monthly check-ins for bookkeeping, tax planning, or financial reporting. Discuss your needs upfront to establish a meeting schedule that aligns with your financial goals.
Yes, many CPAs handle both, but confirm their expertise in both areas. Ask about their experience managing personal taxes and business accounting simultaneously. Ensure they can balance both without compromising attention to your specific financial needs.
Discuss concerns directly with your CPA to resolve issues. If unresolved, check your contract for termination terms. Seek a new CPA by researching reviews, credentials, and referrals. Request your financial records to ensure a smooth transition to a new professional.
