Most firms say they do advisory. Most don’t
17 February 2026
Scan 50 accounting firm websites.
You’ll see:
- Business advisory.
- Strategic advice.
- Helping you grow.
Inside the firm? Still compliance. Here’s the truth.
Most firms claiming advisory:
- Have no system
- No defined process
- No structured deliverables
- No modelling tools
- No pricing framework
- No supporting software
It lives in the partner’s head.
If you can’t:
- Run it inside a compliance meeting
- Produce structured outputs
- Show measurable financial impact
- Deliver it consistently
- Charge properly
You don’t have advisory. You have a website statement.
Real advisory requires:
- Benchmarks
- Strategy frameworks
- Commercial modelling
- Repeatable systems
- Integrated software
At TaxFitness, advisory isn’t a page on a website. It’s engineered into the system — so it runs inside compliance meetings, without unpaid prep or relying on memory. It’s structure.
