What will it take to thrive in a changing environment?
2018 Macquarie Accounting and Financial Services Benchmarking Report
The role of the adviser is changing, and the future is focused on the client.
Clients
It's no surprise that focusing on clients is a key driver of success. Skilled advisers will build a deep understanding of a client’s goals and proactively identify areas where those needs aren’t being met.
Systems
Top industry performers are confident technology users. Two of the top three drivers for improving profitability are improved efficiencies through better use of technology and optimised processes and office efficiency.
People
Working with a great team will drive better business performance. Half of the firms who participated in the survey nominated the capability, expertise and diligence of their employees as the things clients valued most about their firms.

The Propensity Project
The Propensity Project is a survey of an adviser firm’s end clients. Through the project we aim to uncover the propensity for clients to stay with, recommend, and do more business with the firm. We measure 27 attributes of the advice experience that tell us about client satisfaction and a number of metrics around referrals and retention. We’ve used the results to create a number of resources for you and your firm.
Read more about how the Propensity Project findings can help your business thrive in a changing environment.
