Calculate your firm's potential

The traditional business model* for accounting firms is no longer fit for purpose, especially in this post COVID-19 world. But the truth is, the traditional model hasn’t been working for a long time. What if you could change that model? What would your numbers be? Use our Clarity calculator to calculate your firm’s potential below. Scale your business advisory services and increase your profitable revenue.

*The traditional accounting model is built on the 1⁄3 / 1⁄3 / 1⁄3 model; ie of the fees billed, 33.3% goes on the salaries of non- equity fee earners, 33.3% on overheads and 33.3% is divided between the equity partners as remuneration.
