Business owners need more than the traditional accounting firm. So, what do they need?
They need a Next Generation Accounting Firm. What is a Next Generation Accounting Firm (NGAF)? A next generation accounting firm isn’t your traditional accounting firm that is generally reactive. A NGAF focuses on being proactive, focuses on strategy and takes more of a consulting approach in which the client should see a financial benefit rather than just a product (tax returns or financial statements).
