WE BELIEVE IN YOU Accountants are the natural trusted advisors
Accountants can make a massive difference to their clients condition
Most business clients want additional services
Technology needs content AND methodology to really fly.
Accountants revenue is being ‘digitally disrupted’ – you must change to matter!
@therobnixon|www.panali2x.com|#firmofnow
PROBLEMS Accountants traditional margins under massive threat:
Commoditized compliance – technology is taking away the bread & butter work
New nimble players in the market – tech savvy / low costs
Clients have more information than ever – asking questions
Business clients need help – Accountant needs to BE the trusted advisor
Training people – how to deliver new business advisory services
Capitalizing on cloud – without a focus it’ll take revenue away.
