Trusted advisors to professional services firms and their shareholders.
Startups need to build relationships and market presence. Established firms expect to handle major engagements. The bottom line, however, remains the same for most professional services firms: partners want growth to maximize fee income and profit sharing.
Whether you’re a solo practice building market presence or a multinational firm navigating international tax compliance, the Professional Services practice of FORVIS can monitor your internal accounting and financial performance as you take on larger clients, invest in talent and infrastructure, and expand your service footprint.
Contact us to learn how FORVIS is working with legal, staffing, consulting and other professional services firms to help maximize value, meet compliance needs, and streamline operations.
