"In 2018, bolting on cloud services and other new technology isn’t enough for a practice to be considered truly innovative."
Today’s most innovative firms have gone beyond the use of technology for basic bookkeeping. Some take inspiration from other industries – notably tech startups – to identify new tools and new ways of working.
Technology is also helping firms track customer queries and response times. Thanks to custom dashboards and reports, it’s enabling firms to give clients better visibility of key finance data, management information and KPIs.
The most innovative firms don’t just have one-to-one relationships with clients. Innovative practices provide repositories of information in the form of text-based content, videos and podcasts, as well as interactivity via social media.
Innovative firms are using all available digital platforms to create a true community of active, engaged businesses and encourage networking.
