new\u00a0technology, increased client expectations and the expansion of services are dominating conversations about the future of the sector.\n\nStaying ahead of the curve is on every accounting practice owner&#8217;s mind right now. Whether it\u2019s improving ways of working, getting up to date with AI or staying across updates to legislation, there\u2019s a lot to be on top of. To keep up, accounting firms must become agile and adapt to expectations, all while embracing changing technology to streamline processes.\n\nSo how can you operate your accounting practice with the future in mind? We\u2019ve rounded up our top strategies for success so you can future proof your business now, and well into the future.\n<h2 id=\"lean-into-the-power-of-technology-and-ai\">Lean into the power of technology and AI<\/h2>\nWhen did you last <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/blog\/why-do-todays-accountants-need-globally-agile-tech-stack\/\">review your technology stack<\/a>? If it\u2019s been years, it\u2019s time to add this task to your to-do list.\n\nWe all know that introducing new technology both internally and to clients is no easy feat. It takes research, time, and a well-thought-out implementation plan, but it\u2019s almost guaranteed to future-proof your business.\n\nThe past year has seen a huge shift in the transformation of how businesses operate. The rise of AI, machine learning and tools like ChatGPT have dramatically changed efficiency and productivity \u2013 and it\u2019s something all accounting practices need to get on board with.\n\nAI advancements and technology are getting smarter by the day and in turn, helping accountants streamline many of the manual tasks that take up valuable time. Tools like 91爆料 are able to automate time-consuming HR and payroll tasks, giving you time back in your day to focus on your clients.\n\nThis might look like moving away from traditional desktop software and moving to cloud-based processes, or automating manual payruns with powerful payroll software.\n\nAlthough it might seem overwhelming, by prioritising implementing and embracing technology in your accounting practice, you\u2019re staying one step ahead of those who don&#8217;t.\n<h2 id=\"adapt-to-changing-client-needs\">Adapt to changing client needs<\/h2>\nListening to what your clients need is one of the most important factors when it comes to operating your business with the future in mind.\n\nIn our recent <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/resources\/state-of-accounting-report\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">State of Accounting Report<\/a>, we found that 82% of accounting firms in Australia and New Zealand stated that client expectations had increased in the past two years, with clients now expecting increased advisory expertise (61%), faster response times (60%), and increased business advisory support to future-proof their business (57%).\n\nIn our recent <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/resources\/state-of-outsourced-payroll-in-the-uk-report\/\">State of Outsourced Payroll in the UK Report<\/a>, we found that 81% of accountants, bookkeepers, business leaders and payroll specialists in the United Kingdom agreed that clients\u2019 expectations have changed in different ways over the past year, with clients now expecting increased advisory expertise around economic hardship (28%) and faster response times (26%).\n\nSo how can you find out what your clients want? Here\u2019s our tips for understanding what your clients need and want:\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Send out a quarterly survey asking your clients for feedback<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Encourage your team to ask your clients questions and collate the feedback<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Create a monthly newsletter to send out to your clients with upcoming changes and events \u2013 be sure to include a section for feedback!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"prioritise-staying-across-regulatory-and-compliance-changes\">Prioritise staying across regulatory and compliance changes<\/h2>\nStaying up to date with compliance and regulatory changes in the accounting industry is one of the biggest challenges for accountants right now. With changes happening frequently, ensuring you\u2019re across all details is essential to future-proof your business so you can provide the best experience to your clients.\n\nOur tips for staying up to date with changes include:\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Attend conferences and networking events<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Sign up to relevant email lists to be notified of any regulatory changes<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Attend meetups, webinars and workshops regularly<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Create professional relationships with other accountants, both in-person and online via LinkedIn<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Join accounting associations (such as local CA or CPA groups, or even global advisory bodies like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegaphq.com\/\">The Gap<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Utilise software or services that adapt to regulatory changes quickly<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"consider-adding-additional-revenue-streams\">Consider adding additional revenue streams<\/h2>\nAnother way to stay at the forefront of the industry is to explore ways to create additional revenue streams. By adding another stream of revenue to your firm, you\u2019ll be able to soften the financial impact if you were to experience a quiet period, economic instability or the loss of a big client.\n\nLuckily for accounting practices, there are many ways to do this that don\u2019t involve a huge shift in your business plan. Some examples include expanding your suite of services or partnering with other businesses to be a part of their referral or reseller programs.\n\nWith 82% stating that client expectations had increased in our <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/resources\/state-of-accounting-report\/\">State of Accounting report, <\/a>expanding your services is an easy way to future-proof your firm. This may include branching out to offer business advisory services, implementation of accounting software, financial planning and consulting, payroll advisory and training, HR advisory services or even sustainability reporting. There\u2019s a huge opportunity to broaden your services, especially if you already have members of your team with existing knowledge of other areas of accounting and business management.\n\nHowever, if you\u2019re after something that requires a little less time involvement and expertise, partnering with other providers who you\u2019re already using to become a reseller or partner could be the perfect option for you.\n\n91爆料 Partners can add additional revenue streams to their accounting practice, through two of our partner models \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/partner-network\/\">reseller partner and referral partner.<\/a>\n<h3 id=\"employment-hero-reseller-partner\">91爆料 reseller partner<\/h3>\nThe 91爆料 reseller partner program is where your accounting firm becomes the bridge between your customers and our payroll and HR platform. This partner model enables you to resell our products, expand your business, and increase your earnings \u2013 all the while providing value-added services for your clients.\n<h3 id=\"employment-hero-referral-partner\">91爆料 referral partner<\/h3>\nBecoming an 91爆料 referral partner involves establishing yourself as a trusted champion for our payroll and HR solutions. This partner model empowers you to tap into your network and earn a commission on each successful referral. You own the relationship while our team solves your client&#8217;s HR and payroll problems.\n<h2 id=\"priotise-learning-and-development-ld-for-your-team\">Priotise learning and development (L&amp;D) for your team<\/h2>\nDid you know the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weforum.org\/publications\/the-future-of-jobs-report-2023\/\">World Economic Forum\u2019s Future of Jobs Report 2023<\/a> states that with the rise of artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT, it\u2019s estimated that 85 million jobs are expected to be displaced by the year 2025? While this initially may sound shocking, approximately 97 million new jobs are also expected to be created during this period.\n\nWith so much change happening right before us, investing in your team&#8217;s learning and development has never come at a more critical time. Existing skills are becoming obsolete, whilst new skills are emerging in high demand \u2013 and businesses need to keep up if they want to meet client\u2019s needs and expectations and, ultimately, drive greater firm profitability.\n\nYou can prioritise learning and development by having your team attend accounting conferences, seminars and workshops. You may also want to offer learning budgets to upskill their knowledge via postgraduate study or further accreditation.\n\nBetter yet, encourage and leverage the use of AI and automation in the workplace so your team can have time back in their day to invest in their own learning and development. This will help future-proof their own careers, as well as the firm!\n<h2 id=\"the-wrap-up\">The wrap up<\/h2>\nAs the industry continues to undergo a huge transformation, there\u2019s never been a more critical time to future-proof your business. Embracing technology, adapting to clients\u2019 needs, creating additional revenue streams and investing in your team&#8217;s learning and development are just some of the ways you can be confident you\u2019re ready for anything that comes your way.\n\nAt 91爆料, we partner with accounting firms to get them started on the path to success.
