No one should act upon such information without appropriate professional advice after a thorough examination of the particular situation. Helping clients meet their business challenges begins with an in-depth understanding of the industries in which they work. In fact, KPMG LLP was the first of the Big Four firms to organize itself along the same industry lines as clients.
Our teams combine industry know-how with functional experience–built through a high velocity of deals–to help win the right deals, divest successfully, and create long-term value. We help improve top-line and bottom-line performance by finding and unlocking opportunities for new revenue growth and identifying opportunities to increase efficiencies. Practice Forward Webinars are CPE qualified thought leadership webinars that cover advisory centric topics and top-of-mind industry developments. Advisory Roundtables are virtual peer-to-peer events to connect and share with peers about best practices, challenges, and hot topics. The trick is being attentive enough to notice and agile enough to make their demands a reality. It is the combination of a predominant mindset, actions (both big and small) that we all commit to every day, and the underlying processes, programs and systems supporting how work gets done.
For small businesses focused on growing their company (or surviving a pandemic), it’s easy to forget about saving for the future. Accountants can alleviate this problem by helping small business owners predict incoming revenue, outgoing expenses and creating a sensible budget. Utilizing an accounting adviser to navigate complexities can enhance the quality of your accounting approach, and work as an advantage to your organization. These eight possible benefits of an accounting adviser can cumulatively result in a stronger work product. This can potentially reduce auditor interaction time and audit costs, while easing the rise in base audit fees over the long run.
Advisory services and your financial acumen are what set you apart from every other firm. Also consider creating packages of bundled services to supersize your compliance services with more planning and advisory services. Bundled services can help transition annual compliance engagements into monthly or quarterly advisory engagements, where you can communicate your advisory expertise.
