The accountancy sector is currently going through fundamental change. Technology, digitalisation, regulation and client expectations have impacted in recent years in a way that is unprecedented, especially following the Covid pandemic.
Most small firms are struggling to cope with the pace of this change, creating huge opportunity for those best prepared to embrace it and develop innovative, technology-led services.
That's where you, as a TaxAssist Accountants business owner, step in.
A visible, accessible, relationship-based service
The loss of the traditional bank manager and other advisory organisations has left a gap that TaxAssist Accountants are filing, as people seek a trusted personal advisor for their business and personal financial affairs.
At TaxAssist Accountants, we pride ourselves on being at the forefront of the changes facing the accounting industry. We lead the way to ensure our accounting practices are the first choice for small and medium sized business services and dedicate ourselves to helping our accountants to build successful, profitable, recession and pandemic-proof ‘one stop shop’ businesses.
With a network of highly visible high street shops and offices across Ireland, our accountants are ideally placed to take advantage of the opportunities that change is bringing.
Accounting in the Cloud
Cloud-based accounting software has revolutionised the way accountants operate and interact with their clients. To stay one step ahead of the competition, and to be at the cutting edge of new technology, you need to be able to offer a service that attracts and retains every kind of small business client.
At TaxAssist Accountants we continually research, evaluate and recommend the best software to suit the needs of our network and its clients. This is an ever-changing arena we monitor closely to ensure we offer first class training and support to our accountants and their staff with the advent of each new development.
Tax planning
Accountants are increasingly being seen as trusted professionals and playing a critical role for their clients. Most tax planning needs can be supported by our network, but we are continuing to develop ways to broaden the range of services we can deliver to clients. Our TaxAssist-branded in-house Tax Consulting service is working alongside our network, delivering more complex tax services to help each TaxAssist Accountant to earn more fees, retain clients and win new business.
Client Advisory Services
Not surprisingly, the nature of Client Advisory Services is evolving to take technological changes into account. This means our industry needs to be adding new services to their practice portfolio not only to stand out from the crowd, but because clients now expect their accountant to offer an enhanced service including business support and advice.
Our network works alongside their clients, building relationships, helping them to better understand their business and supporting their informed decisions.
