What are the main barriers facing accounting firms in implementing BD services? And why should accounting firms provide business advice?

We know that time and confidence are the biggest barriers for accounting firms. Partners struggle to prioritise time and delegate other work to free up time to help their clients with Business Development. Also, many struggle with taking the plunge to work with their clients in this way; not truly recognising the knowledge and value they bring to the table.

 

The Gap’s work is based on experience, not theory.  We’ve seen first hand the value and support accountants can deliver their clients through business development. We know that these services work to build more sustainable, scalable and, ultimately, saleable businesses.

 

Some accounting firms struggle initially to see how valuable BD services are to their clients. At The Gap we think that business development is highly relevant and valuable, on a global scale – whether you’re a small or medium sized business or a large corporation.

 

We’re excited about this new partnership with Business Link Pacific who have a strong network of business advisors in the Pacific Islands, all of who could really benefit from The Gap Portal.”

The Gap has designed an introductory webinar for BLP as part of this new partnership with more collaboration to come.  If you’re a BLP partner and are interested in more information about our new partnership with The Gap and how it can benefit you, contact us via [email protected]
