Why Clients Need to be First in Your Advisory Plans
Understanding the dynamics on the client end easily is as important in the transition of a firm as the complexities of how you build your capacity and how much you charge. Seth David, Chief Nerd at Nerd Enterprises, has some brilliant insights into this. We sat down to explore how the recipient of advisory services sees the world. "The clients know that they need data, but they don't know how to ask for it, how to articulate the question," says Seth.
How CPAs Can Convert to Operational Intelligence
Unlike my earlier interview with Peter Hickey, Fred advocates for a numbers-based approach. This speaks to a challenge that many firms face when moving to advisory: “Advisory” is a vague and ill-defined term. While for some, it can imply board-level goal setting, strategic planning and even tackling human resource issues, for others like Fred, it should be specifically related to those ever constant (and measurable) numbers.
How Small Firm Tech Strategy Can Mirror Large Firms
Roman Kepczyk has spent 23 years working with some of the largest accounting firms in the US to help them select and implement technology. Now, as the Director of Firm Technology Strategy at Right Networks, he has turned his attention to smaller firms. We sat down with Roman at the recent Scaling New Heights event to find out what lessons smaller firms can learn from the larger practice sector. As it turns out, there are a lot.
Don't Lose Focus on Your Clients While Automating
Jul 30th 2019 While more firms are adopting automation, are they also at risk of losing connection with their clients? Automation is becoming the norm in many accounting firms. Even so, the human element cannot be overlooked. AccountingWEB's Andy North sat down with the accountant, keynote speaker, and all round accounting legend Geni Whitehouse to find out why. As you'll see in the interview, it's important to get into the shoes of the client.
What Does 'Advisory' Actually Mean?
Jul 23rd 2019 With more and more firms looking at how they can generate higher margins and add value for clients by providing 'advisory services,' it seemed sensible to explore what exactly 'advisory' means. Elliott Davis is a major accounting firm based out of Greenville, South Carolina, that boasts a 750-strong team of trusted advisors.
Will Desktop Users Get More App Love?
LeoWolfert_shutterstock_appselection Jun 24th 2019 Let’s face it, since the advent of cloud accounting, app makers have nearly fallen over themselves to build add-ons to the increasingly popular platform. So where has this left the multitude of desktop users?
Sage is (again) at a Crossroads with Accountants
May 17th 2019 The buzz at this year’s Sage Summit in Atlanta this week was unmistakably all about Intacct, the cloud-based midmarket accounting product it acquired in 2017 acquisition for $850M. To be fair, it has been a great success and gave Sage a much needed boost to its credibility as a player in the cloud. Revenues are up – especially those all-important recurring subscription numbers (up 48 percent) and they do see their accounting partners playing a major role in that.

Is This the Revenue Stream Most Accountants are Missing Out On?
PeopleImages_iStock_worksuccess Mar 1st 2019 We often hear that accountants and bookkeepers are increasingly involved with the specification and implementation of technology for their clients. There's no news there, but what interested us was how much of an opportunity this might represent and how well it's currently being exploited. We teamed up with ZOHO and surveyed 335 firms, and the results may give you cause to raise an eyebrow. First, let's take a look at the top results.

Are You an IT Manager for Your Clients?
As the roles and responsibilities of accounting professionals evolve to meet the needs of their clients, one trend we've kept an eye on is the increase in technology and support queries. Our anecdotal evidence suggests helping clients select and integrate the right applications can take up between 10 and 30 percent of some accountants' working weeks (with some reporting significantly higher percentages of time).
Freescale Foundation to focus on STEM education

Where Do Compliance-based Firms Fit in?
From the very beginning, Xero’s playbook for accounting firms has been pretty unambiguous in its support for those seeking to move towards offering advisory services, but that perception could change as compliance-based firms are more in their scope. Apocalyptic predictions about the future of compliance-based work were matched with a flurry of tech developments introduced to automate, automate, automate wherever repetitive tasks could be found.
The Realities of the Automated Practice
Accountants and bookkeepers across the US are often told that the future is all about automation. It's expected by clients, it saves time on repetitive and low-value tasks and opens huge opportunities for practice expansion and higher revenue advisory work. So why has the level of uptake by firms been so slow? Evidence suggests around 40 percent of firms have made invested in automation technology - and many of those that have tend to use it with a limited number of clients.

Accountants Are Getting a Cloud From Sage
As part of the deluge of developments being unleashed at Sage Summit US in Atlanta this week, one of the most intriguing is the ambiguously titled “Accountant Cloud.” If nothing else, it underlines the stated aim of leading innovation – in particular using the cloud – that CEO Stephen Kelly emphasized in the opening session. Whether it’s a true game-changer is yet to be seen.
Apologies and Brand Commitment Rule Sage Keynote
Sage CEO Stephen Kelly opened 2017 Sage Summit US in Atlanta as a Bowie-esque rockstar striding on to the stage to dramatic music as the confident chief executive with a plan. What followed was an ambitious commitment, some mea culpa moments and promises of big things to come. “The giant has woken up!” said Kelly, after admitting that Sage has been accused of flip flopping between going directly to market and not supporting its channel, of not listening to clients and partners and of cloud denial.
