Posted: 07 July 2020 # Business Advisory Services - Crowd Sourced Funding - The Action Areas #### Accountant's Minute 239 83 days to go to the end of JobKeeper – will your clients be ready? Business advisory service expected to be the most in demand! The CommBank Accounting Market Pulse for June 2020 has identified that a majority of firms expect Business Advisory Services to experience the greatest demand in the coming 6 to 12 months. The survey questionnaire asked the participants *“Which services in the accounting and consulting marketplace do you anticipate will be in highest demand in the next 6 to 12 months?”* The response was *“Business Advisory Services”* – 70%. By identifying “Business Advisory Services” the accountancy firms that participated in the survey have clearly identified that those firms intend to offer clients a broader range of professional services which will relate to clients' requests for ongoing assistance in a broader range of services than those traditionally supplied by accountancy firms. This response is not surprising and follows on from the observations made in the “Financial Review” 18th June 2020 *“Accountants Become the 'Centrelink' of Business World”* which stated: *“The accountant of the future will need to be a compliance expert who can grapple with fast changing rules while providing broader advice to clients about their business”.* In this week’s “COVID-19 Survival Panel" webinar Matt Vitale Co-Founder and Managing Director of Birchal (a Crowd Sourced Funding Intermediary) will comment on “Equity Crowdfunding – Getting Investment Ready”. Matt Vitale, an experienced financial services lawyer and entrepreneur, will comment on: - Overview of the Crowd Sourced Funding Regime - Birchal’s Philosophy and Process - Common Legal/Structuring Considerations - Recent Case Studies The second keynote speaker on Friday, 10th July 2020 at 12-noon AEST is Amanda Gascoigne, Amanda Gascoigne Consulting, who will utilise her experience as a professional accountant and consultant to small practices and sole practitioners all over Australia, as they relate to the problems of COVID-19 coronavirus and the marketplace challenges to offer “Business Advisory Services” and the need for an awareness of business funding opportunities that are now available for small businesses and medium-sized enterprises. In last week’s webinar, Mark Holton, Director, Smithink Pty Ltd outlined some of the challenges facing accountants. “When it comes to advisory services, we tend a look at advisory as something that we generally do as well as compliance. Well, I think that needs to change.” “I think we have got to be doing advisory as part of the entire service offering by accountancy firms”. “Helping a client work out what happens in the future, I see this as one of the sweet spots for an advisor”. “Accountants need to embrace action planning, which is budgeting, cashflow forecasts, board of advice meetings, holding the client accountable to the big picture plan that they want to achieve”. “Another thing that is paramount is stress testing – looking at things like the power of one with a client". “But the first stage in smart advisory services is working out what you want to offer and how you’re going to offer it. Who in your firm is going to do it, how much you’re going to price it for and then guys step off the curb and get out there and do it!” “I suggest that you should be reading the CommBank Accounting Market Pulse June 2020 report which indicates on page 8 that accountants had identified that they increased by 79% proactive communication with clients during the coronavirus – why did it take a virus to have this level of contact with clients?” “So, I’d like to leave you with the challenge today – get yourself organised – get yourself ready and get your implementation plan in place to be able to deliver more Business Advisory Services in 2020/21”. Dale Crosby commented on the Chief Financial Officer Course that he is conducting. There are about 190 participants who are learning a wide range of matters relative to CFO services. Dale indicated that he was going to refer to information extracted from a report on the CFO Training Programme – if anyone would like to see the full report, please contact [](https://www.essbiztools.com/javascript:/*%20This%20email%20address%20is%20being%20protected%20from%20spambots.*/)[](https://www.essbiztools.com/javascript:/*%20This%20email%20address%20is%20being%20protected%20from%20spambots.*/) and we will arrange for the report to be sent to you. Dale indicated that with the current financial and accounting software, accountants should be clearly identifying to small businesses and medium-sized enterprise clients that you are in a position to help them and focus on essential strategic, operational and financial planning. Accountants need to step outside the traditional paradigm or approach and say there is much more that we can do to help you, then we are doing at the moment. “There’s value in using the virtual CFO description to describe clearly what it is that you can offer to support the client with their business operations. This is part of the transition product process". Firms need to develop internal champions on various aspects of business advisory services.
