Are you Ready to Be More Than A Tax And Compliance Driven Accounting Firm?
Compliance In Australia Is a Competitive & Oversaturated
Most accounting firms operate as 'me too' tax practices with no clear point of difference. By offering a broader range of accounting services, you'll stand out from the the crowd.
The Work Has Become Repetitive & Lacks Challange
If you’re no longer being challenged or desire to have a more meaningful impact with your clients – piling on more compliance-related work is not the right approach for you.
Professional Accounting Bodies Are Too General In Their Approach To Business Advisory
The professional accounting bodies are amazing, although they don’t provide all of the short-cuts (one-on-one support, marketing materials or client engagement templates) required to get you starting and growing a Business Advisory Services division with confidence.
We take tremendous pride in the concrete impact our packages provide to our subscriber firms.
For one example, for subscriber and Chartered Accountant Russell Laird of O’Regan Partners, ESS BIZTOOLS has provided the back-end marketing materials and engagement delivery workpapers that has been the backbone of the firm's promotion and delivery of Business Advisory Services for the past seven years.

Why Your Accounting Firm Must Begin To Offer Strategic Business Advisory Services To Clients
The accounting profession in Australia is presently undergoing a great transformation caused by two primary forces: Technology and Labour Offshoring.
Both of these forces represent an incredible opportunity to those accounting firms open-minded enough to see them for what they are.
It has been our observation that a combination of technology and offshore labour is freeing those entrepreneurial, ambitious and client-focused accountants from the shackles of compliance-based services towards a world of high- value, higher-impact engagements (often referred to in Australia as ‘Business Advisory Services').
Written to be easily digested and understood, this short paper reviews the diversifying of accountancy services and identifies why this is important, not only for the accountancy profession but also for the SME market, on which a significant number of accounting firms in Australia are reliant.
