It’s not just us.

The world is changing for everyone I have never walked on a beach made of pebbles before.

People told me that Brighton, a beachside town on the south coast, was a lot like Sydney. The gay capital of England, with hills that roll down to a fairly famous beach.

Well, if you swap the stones for sand, I guess.

As I looked out from the shore at a distant constellation of turbines spinning over the waves, I realised that when it comes to accounting, Australia and the UK actually have plenty in common. 

government initiative herding many businesses to A cloud accounting software? We have Single Touch Payroll, they have Making Tax Digital.



ccounting firms struggling to add bookkeeping A services and automate compliance? KPMG UK shuttered its Small Business Accounting division the day after I stepped off the plane.



booming scene of cloud-based business software for A SMEs? After years behind Australia and New Zealand, the UK tech scene is rapidly catching up.

The accounting profession is going through a turbulent patch but it’s good to know you’re not alone. The global accounting community is dealing with the same issues.

As several UK accountants confirmed, Australia is at the bleeding edge. The UK and the US are watching how accounting professionals here deal with the tectonic shifts between accounting, banking, regulations and technology.

That may sound a little scary but help is at hand. The best way to deal with change is to embrace it and search for new solutions.

Congratulations on attending the Accounting Business Expo 2019. You’re in the right place.

Process automation can strip a lot of the repetitive, low-value work from compliance. Once you have set up automation – what are you going to do with your extra man hours? Luckily, there is already pent-up demand for a high value substitution. Here’s how you can reassign staff so your new service is ready to go.

SEMINAR HIGHLIGHTS

How To Catch The Boom In Ecommerce Accounting

The Pricing Spectrum: From Hourly Billing To Value Pricing

Ecommerce businesses are the future. Your clients will be selling on Amazon, Shopify or another platform soon if they aren’t already.

You will need to understand these businesses and where to get the data to do their compliance work. Learn processes from ecommerce accountants that can save you time and help you provide your clients with accurate financials.

Pricing is difficult. With technology eroding away at time, firms need to adapt their pricing model so that they are not penalised for investing in technology and training. Hear how a leading firm prices its services, how it uncovers what clients value, and when hourly billing works.

The Quest To Find A Decent Reporting Tool For Mid-Size Companies Once you start dealing with companies making $2 million to $50 million a year the standard crop of reporting tools don’t make the grade. They can be inflexible, take too long to make changes and can’t dive deep into the data. Hear how a consultancy that tried all the popular tools discovered that dashboards don’t work without proper data management.

Why are you in business? Purpose is what gets you out of bed most days, and your reasons might be very different to your neighbour’s. The most successful firms (and people) have worked out how to align their purpose with their day to day. Do this and you’ll notice an enormous difference in your will to work and ability to achieve.

A NEW ERA OF ATO DOCUMENT AUTOMATION An innovative new product is helping accountants save up to 90 per cent of ATO document processing time.

Business Automation Works has launched ATOmate, a purpose-built automation solution for accountants that processes, checks and distributes ATO documents including Notice of Assessments, Statements of Account and Overdue Tax Debts.

“A task that once took up a vast amount of your time is now effortlessly automated. That valuable time can now be redirected to building upon the relationships with your clients.

“ATOmate takes the business capability “BAW are diligent and Communication lines are stronger and of an accounting practise to a whole responsive to your every client discussions are now opportune.” new level. It not only saves accountants need.

“The process is so simple, yet the impact of the time saved by accountancy practices is monumental. ATOmate actually allows accountants to say goodbye to the time-

Mr Corner has been helping businesses streamline their processes and systems for more than 20 years. ATOmate is Business Automation Works’ first industry solution for accountants, with BASmate coming later in 2019 for bookkeepers and tax agents.

“The past few years have seen businesses of all sizes under pressure. It always seems the focus is on ‘efficiency’, but what people really mean is that they’re looking to drive down costs,” Mr Corner says.

“With the focus on being leaner, faster, and more agile, how can business leaders focus on delivering ‘more with less’? Well, for mine, it’s not necessarily a conversation around ‘squeezing the lemon’ harder. I’ve found that taking a different approach can help you focus on getting more out of the resources you have without the pain of ‘doing more with less’. At Business Automation Works we focus on a three-stage strategy - eliminate, automate, and outsource.

“You can really only focus on automation, after you’ve eliminated redundancies. With the digital era upon us, automation is more crucial than you might think. But you have to make sure you’re ready. To truly automate a task or process, you really need to understand it and that means having it documented in detail.”

Getting future ready Your accounting firm may not be large, but running it is a giant task.

Just keeping up with changing regulations and servicing clients keeps you on the run.

There’s not much opportunity to step back and think about the infrastructure and planning that will ensure the longevity of the business.

Just 8% of accountants say that they’re future ready¹ even though two thirds (67%) of accountants agree that the profession is more competitive than ever². In this environment, thinking about the way you service your clients and how you will future proof your business cannot fall to the wayside.

Technology adoption can deliver up to 53% faster revenue growth³ by reducing billable time spent on repetitive and manual tasks.

It can also help you keep up with constantly changing regulation and make your business more attractive to high quality talent. This gives you more time to invest in growing new and existing business opportunities.

Taking time to look at where you want your accounting business to be and implementing better tax and practice management technology will put you in the best position to face the future. ¹ CPA of the Future Study 2015 ² Sage Advice 2018 ³ Global Technology Adoption Index 2015

D I S C O V E R B U S I N E S S A D V I S O R Y Becoming a Best Practice Certified Business Advisor is not everyone. The journey to genuinely learn Fortune 500 world-leading intellectual property is a step by step journey and not to be taken lightly. Put simply, how can we certify you if you cannot master your own firm?

Learn how to dramatically improve your own advisory firm and also become a globally recognised Best Practice Certified Business Advisor, the most relevant, current and worthwhile journey for accountants and bookkeepers, towards 2025.

It’s difficult to fully appreciate ‘what you don’t know’ and what it takes to realise your full potential as a business advisor, what is scalable, what's not, what delivers the best ROI for SME's and what doesn't, what technology to leverage and which apps to avoid for limitations etc. Imagine if you had the knowledge, skills, and experience of a Best Practice Certified Business Advisor, rather than just the public practice knowledge of being an Accountant, how might you do things differently and what might the SME sector say about your brand?
