What are business advisory services?
The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants defines consulting services as the development of “findings, conclusions, and recommendations for customer consideration and decision making,” with a focus on operational requirements such as accounting systems, business processes, and information management. Management consulting is the last level of the accounting pyramid. Management consulting includes performance reporting as well as advice on strategic plans, risk assessments and succession plans.

Management consulting is slowly becoming the strongest option when it comes to the services offered by accounting firms. With open communication and integration with value-added technologies, you can start delivering key strategic services. While business consulting offers many benefits, one of the most effective results of having a management consultant by your side is a renewed sense of confidence in your company’s health and finances. Uninformed or poor decisions at any stage of the business trip can be detrimental to a company’s success and growth and unfortunately occur more frequently than many new business owners believe.
