Everything between the strategy on the whiteboard and the way work gets done.
We close the gap between where you want the firm to go and the systems that get you there. Six services, one accountable partner.
Our services are designed to connect: bring us in for one or all six, from strategic direction to hands-on delivery. Behind them is a team with real depth of skill - we match the right delivery team to your firm, your service and the stage of your journey.

Optimisation
The tools are already in place, but the real value isn't. We review what you're running, find what's underused or drifting, then tune your processes, tweak your systems or update your team, so the stack earns its keep.

AI Consulting
AI is changing how firms work, and accounting stacks are no exception. We help you separate the genuinely useful from the hype - from prompt libraries to workflow automation - and adopt it in a way that fits your practice and your risk appetite.

Project Management
Some projects are too important to wing. We bring experienced oversight to migrations, platform changes and rollouts - calculated, correct for you, and built to last. We see a 95% re-engagement rate from the firms we deliver for.

Data Migration
Ledger conversions out of legacy systems, and full data moves when firms merge or split. A discrete piece of work with a defined price - and where a merger or split is involved, we act as the independent third party so both sides can proceed with confidence.

Common questions
What does an IT strategy for an accounting firm actually cover?+
Four things: the platforms the firm runs and how they connect, the process the team follows inside them, the data that moves between them, and the sequence of change over the next 12 to 24 months. It is a decision document, not an inventory - it says what the firm will do, in what order, and what it will stop doing.
How much does technology consulting for an accounting firm cost?+
It depends on the work, but every engagement is scoped and quoted before it starts - fixed scope, fixed fee, no open-ended hourly drift. A readiness assessment or stack review is a defined piece of work measured in weeks. An implementation or migration is quoted against the platforms and the number of staff and entities involved. Book a call and we will give you the range before you commit to anything.
Do you resell software or take commission from vendors?+
No. FGS Advisory takes no referral fees and holds no commercial arrangements with software providers. We hold accreditations or deep knowledge across platforms including Xero, FYI, BGL, NowInfinity, ATOMate, Apxium, FeeSynergy, FuseSign and Cimplico so we can implement them properly - but we are paid by you, not by them. If the right answer is the platform you already have, that is what we will tell you.
