The skills required to provide advisory and consulting services generally aren’t possessed by accounting, auditing and tax partners. That’s why many CPA firms, from the largest to the smallest, have and will continue to add advisory and consulting partners into their firms.

The accounting, auditing and tax business is a long-term relationship business. Once the engagement partners establish a relationship with private company owners-operators and senior management, they become trusted business advisors. Their DNA is wired toward a relationship and their eyes are on providing value-added solutions to challenges facing senior management.
