Future-Proof

Jun 12 2023 • 41 mins

We're talking about advisory today, something on everyone's mind; how do we incorporate more value added advisory services? What types of advisory services should we offer? What technology do we need? How do we price these services? How do we staff them? The profession has been laser focused on CAS for awhile and still, there are so many questions to answer.

When it comes to CAS, top-performing firms showed a median growth rate of 16% just last year and are optimistic about continued growth. These top firms implicate key strategies for success:

  • Dedicated CAS staff
  • Using technologies to drive efficiencies
  • Standardize processes
  • Raise fees to reflect the value provided
  • Explore creative staffing and capacity building measures
  • Educate clients and staff on CAS

My guest this week, Jasen Stine, Tax & Accounting Education Leader at Intuit, speaks with me about what tax advisory really looks like; what types of services that are most in demand, what type of clients we should look for, what pricing looks like and possible first steps for those who are looking to explore this area.
