Several current trends are changing the way accounting businesses operate, according to research from Wolters Kluwer, CCH, a global provider of tax, accounting, and audit information, software, and services. These changes are likely to benefit both buyers and sellers of accounting businesses because they directly boost productivity and profitability.
The firm's survey of 500 U.S. accounting professionals in various sized accounting businesses found that they are strongly focused on providing enhanced customer service. They are achieving this through purchasing more technology and leveraging it to automate processes and free up key staff to provide more strategic and personalized client counsel.
Accounting businesses are also increasing service and employee productivity by leveraging mobile devices and digital platforms - as well as consolidating and integrating cloud-based information repositories - to reduce capital costs. In addition, accounting businesses are using social media as a business tool to find and engage clients online.
Talent management and succession planning are also priorities for accounting businesses because their services are more in demand than ever before, as the baby boomers are retiring.
