Whether you’ve joined the movement or not, it’s no doubt that the Australian tax and accounting industry keeps moving into more automation. As a result, there are surely big box accounting services providers that have “commoditised” their basic set of services such as bookkeeping, superannuation and taxes. Small and large businesses can find these services from a variety of providers. The more players that enter the outsourcing accounting market, the higher the competition.
To survive in commoditised market, Australian accounting firms usually have two fundamental options: offer more specialized, value-added services with higher margins, or systemise these low-end services to deliver them more efficiently.
Systemisation is not a new trend in the Australian Accounting market; however, it requires systems built in the long term with day-to-day updating. It’s not only about business relationship, it’s about strong systems. The Australian accounting firms have to run on strong systems to deliver their core services efficiently, effectively and with repeatable process.
