Taxfitness reports will spell out the benefits. Benefits sell.
Our software will produce outstanding reports for:
- Tax planning
- Business advisory (+ benchmarking)
Reports play a crucial role in service delivery – providing credibility, factual information, benefits and savings, costs and transparency. (You can’t build a house without a house plan. Nor can you provide tax planning without a properly crafted tax plan).
Add to this other marketing concepts and you can significantly encourage uptake.
Choose the right TaxFitness subscription and you have access to extensive material and support to accompany our reporting software.
Understanding that marketing of consultancy services is different
It is important to remember that these services are consultancy services (not compliance services). With compliance services the client typically must complete an action that they usually know of anyway, like a tax return or a BAS. They know there are penalties if they don’t. This means they usually directly ask their accountant for the service to be completed.
Consultancy services instead work the other way around and rely on you as their accounting or tax expert to speak up. The definition of consultancy being, ‘a professional practice that gives expert advice within a particular field’. This means you lead the way. We can help you.
Why penalise your client?
If you do not provide valuable consultancy advice, clients may ultimately leave and find a practitioner who does provide the advice and support. Why? Because they are being penalised (paying too much tax, missing out on wealth creation opportunities, reduced profitability and a whole array of detrimental outcomes). So penalties do exist for both compliance services and consultancy services not being completed. In fact the penalties through missed savings and opportunities from not providing consultancy services is usually profoundly greater and continues to increase over time.
