It Fails Because They Don’t Know How to Sell It
The accounting industry spends a lot of time talking about:
But very little time talking about the most important part:
How advisory services are actually sold — consistently, proactively, and at scale.
CountingWorks PRO was built to solve that problem.
Most firms try to grow advisory services reactively.
It looks like this:
This approach feels salesy, relies on perfect timing, depends on staff judgment, doesn’t scale, and fails quietly.
And firms assume: “Clients just don’t want advisory.”

This turns advisory into a revenue engine, not a side offering.
Advisory ROI doesn’t come from a big win, a clever proposal, or a training session.
It comes from consistent education, repeated exposure, automated delivery, and reduced sales friction.
When advisory is embedded into the client lifecycle:
That’s real ROI.
