Driving better outcomes
Diversify services and embrace the new workplace model, firms must automate tasks and enable collaboration between teams.
Internet of Things is helping firms collect real-time data and customer feedback, which influences decision-making and allows accountants to give clients actionable business advice faster.
1. The ability to cater to new client demandsMore than one-quarter of businesses (28%) say their accountants have never sought any feedback. These firms are missing opportunities to meet their clients’ broadening demands, with full-service accounting firms now the expectation.
Expectations for increased collaboration
More diverse roles and more complex tasks demanded by clients, accountancy firms can expect to see greater collaboration on the ground
This increased collaboration will come in many forms, from accounting roles working together to solve problems, to local and international practices collaborating due to a more globalised industry.
In their 2018 report – The New Physics of Financial Services – The World Economic Forum found that “collaborative solutions built on shared datasets will radically increase the accuracy, timeliness, and performance of non-competitive functions, creating mutual efficiencies in operations and improving the safety of the financial system.”

Future proof your practice
Any investment you make in your business will pay dividends if and when it comes time to move on. Any potential buyer looking at your firm will inevitably review your in-house systems and automation software.
Forbes reveals that “McKinsey found […] 49% of leading companies, in revenue growth, EBIT growth and digital investment, are investing in digital more than their counterparts do.”
Take back control
In a hypercompetitive industry like accountancy, firms need to take control of their business’s future by futureproofing themselves against trends and changes. Digitisation and automation allows you to do just that, in a user-friendly accountancy solution that solves all the problems that ways of the past brings.
Isn’t it time you took control of your firm’s future?

Business Efficiency :
How your practice
can get in the zone
Getting ‘in the zone’
Many can relate to being ‘in the zone’ – a state of heightened focus, efficiency and productivity. It’s a great feeling, but distractions and things like admin, payroll and compliance can hold small businesses back.
We spoke to over 1,300 small businesses to understand the benefits and barriers to being ‘in the zone’ at work.
Through our research we found that small businesses around Australia are feeling the weight of administration and red tape, and that it can cost time and real money. In fact, it’s estimated that Australian small businesses collectively spend over $20.16 billion a year on admin and payroll.

Administration can place a real financial and emotional burden on small
business. It’s not only impacting the enjoyment of starting a business but
leading to sacrifices that could affect the mental or physical health of
individuals.

Accessible Tech Tools for Better Business
Today, small businesses have access to the tools − from world-class manufacturing, logistics and cloud computing − that were once the sole domain of the big enterprises.
Small businesses can win by using business infrastructure, like cloud computing, that turns fixed costs into variable costs, allowing them to scale their resources up and down and only pay for what they use. The yearly growth rate of Australia's cloud
market, boosted by SaaS adoption ^
