Accounting Industry

Accounting firms in New Zealand and Australia are grappling with a convergence of challenges:

Economic challenges have led to redundancies and tighter client budgets.
Talent shortages persist due to fewer students entering the field.
Regulatory changes (e.g., climate reporting) demand fast adaptation.
AI & automation offer potential but are costly and complex to adopt.
Client expectations are rising — firms must offer strategic, tech-enabled services beyond compliance.

Client Stories

KPMG were creating a new division to centralise the service delivery of all compliance-based jobs from both the Enterprise & Tax divisions. They needed a single standarised approach and process enable the two divisions to submit work into the service delivery teams. The two divisions were using different compliance tools, with decentralized processing and management of jobs across the country.
