Stand Out with Accounting Advisory Services

Recently updated on March 7th, 2024 at 10:43 am

Only a third of accounting companies globally have over 80% of their clients using cloud accounting. This means even some of the big accounting firms are still doing accounting in the traditional way. Large accounting firms are also not known for being agile, which means it will take some time for them to change.

Further, statistics show that accounting firms that have all their clients online get five times as many new customers as those who do not. What do these two statistics mean to your accounting firm? Let’s explore :  Accounting Advisory Services

Automate to Keep Your Lead

Those stats were just about firms that have adopted cloud-based accounting. One of the big benefits of cloud accounting is that any reports you create for your clients with your accounting data analytics software is available to them in real-time, at home or at the office. They don’t have to wait on emails with attached PDFs to get insights into how their business is doing.

When you add automation to cloud-based accounting, you stand out even more from the firms that don’t, and you optimize your accounting practice. Automating your reporting means that you don’t even have to “create” those reports your clients will see wherever they are located. They will simply be there in the accounting dashboards you customized to fit their business. Data will automatically sync in real-time in the background and update these financial performance dashboards with no human interaction.

Reporting isn’t the only thing you can automate – the process works for all the tedious, manual accounting tasks that are better done by software and reduce human error. Statistics also show that 75% of accounting tasks can be automated. This means you can run a leaner firm that has more free time. And you can use this time to differentiate your firm even more from the big firms.
