With an unwavering focus on innovative strategies and progressive thinking, these services play a pivotal role as the cornerstone for businesses looking to tackle complexities and capitalize on emerging opportunities. From financial consulting to management advisory, Advisory Services epitomize the epitome of tailored solutions and profound industry insights, enabling organizations not only to thrive but also to redefine industry standards.
Join us as we delve into the world of Advisory Services, where every decision is a strategic step toward unparalleled success.
What are Advisory Services?
American Institute Of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) defines advisory services as those services where the practitioner “researches, analyzes and finds information or results to provide conclusions or insights useful for client decision-making and consideration.” AICPA also provides additional examples of advisory services including “conducting operational reviews and improvement studies, analyzing accounting systems, assisting with strategic planning, and defining requirements for information systems.” While informative, this definition appears more formal and narrower compared to how practitioners describe advisory services within their firms.
In a recent Intuit® Tax Council roundtable, company owners defined advisory services as “embracing client challenges and applying strategies to create opportunities for their growth.” This definition leans towards outcomes more than the AICPA’s definition, yet still aligns with AICPA’s recommendations for client consideration and decision-making.

Succession Planning
Succession planning is a strategy focused on identifying potential leaders and high-potential employees, aiding them in development and advancement within their organization. It is immensely crucial because as an organization grows, it can save costs by developing existing staff for key positions rather than hiring new employees. Providing employees with a clear career path through succession planning can also enhance their engagement and retention.
Unfortunately, many organizations do not prioritize succession planning, opting to focus on business development rather than the growth of their employees. Among those organizations that do have succession plans, 54% employ informal methods or largely doubt the effectiveness of their succession plans.
