The Challenge

Why firms feel stuck

Growing accounting firms often struggle with chaos, quality control issues, overwhelmed staff, and systems that break down under increased volume. Without AI-powered growth management, scaling becomes unpredictable and stressful.

Capacity strainManual follow-upReactive marketing

What we keep hearing

  • Team members hit capacity surprises because staffing forecasts live in spreadsheets.
  • Quality slips get noticed after busy season when rework is already expensive.
  • Managers spend nights reshuffling tasks to cover last-minute surges.

Themes pulled from discovery calls with SmartFirm prospects in 2025.

Problems we hear every week

  • ProblemManagers constantly reshuffle work because no one can see team capacity or deadlines in one place.
  • ProblemReview notes pile up at the end of the month, so quality checks happen days after files should be out the door.
  • ProblemLeadership lacks a clear view of which growth initiatives are straining operations until staff burn out.
