Business Operation

Expansion Potential:

The community around the business continues to grow, and with that growth the potential clients for this business also grows. This firm is limited in its ability to grow mostly because the current owner does not want to expand the number of staff. Also, the current owner does not solicit any new customers. With new management interested in growing the client base, there are many avenues an owner could take to increase revenue.

Competition / Market:

The Accounting Services industry has steadily accelerated over the five years to 2022, buoyed by economic growth early during the period and a continued demand for monetary advisory during the financial challenges of the early 2020s. As revenue has expanded, new operators have entered the industry and competition has intensified, especially between smaller companies. In an attempt to boost market share during the high growth early in the period, the industry's largest players acquired several smaller companies. Overall, industry revenue is estimated to rise at an annualized rate of 3.4% to $141.8 billion over the five years to 2022, including an increase of 6.3% in 2022alone. The moderate growth, despite strong demand trends, is largely due to revenue not increasing significantly in2020 as a result of the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic and less demand for noncritical tax services. Industry profit has also increased as the industry's largest players implemented digital tools to boost productivity. Due to steady client volumes and an increasing number of US adults, demand for industry services has increased.

Moving forward, industry revenue is expected to grow slowly, rising at an annualized rate of 0.4% to $144.9 billion over the five years to 2027. However, many significant challenges will likely affect operators; competition is expected to intensify in the consumer market due to record penetration of lower-cost alternatives, such as online tax preparation, in addition to rising inflation hampering business activity. However, as the industry integrates with nearly every aspect of the US economy, revenue growth will likely be maintained during the outlook period.- IBIS WORLD
