A Few Of The Engagements You’ll Be Able To Execute
Here is just a sample of the many Business Advisory engagements our subscriber firms are executing with their clients.
Survival in Difficult Times
This is a crucial component of “Business Advisory Services”, especially in 2020/21. The 42 segments included in the survival questionnaire enables an Accountant to conduct a detailed review of all aspects of a business as the preliminary step towards the development of a Strategic Plan for the business.
Chief Financial Officer Services
An in-depth resource package to equip a firm that wishes to offer a virtual Chief Financial Officer services to clients and prospects. This package offers training, tools and worksheets on a wide range of issues that could confront an accountancy firm that is offering a virtual CFO service to its clients.
Business Funding for SMEs
A step-by-step blueprint on how to assist your clients in raising equity capital/loan funds for their business. Not only do we include training on how to execute this type of engagement, we have already created the ‘plug and play’ templates needed to help your client become “Investment Ready” to obtain funding from a variety of sources (including the banks, Crowd Sourced Funding Equity Raising and Section 708 of the Corporations Act).
Industry Specific Advisory
We’ve developed proven tools and worksheets to support you in helping your clients monitor their business health and achieve their profit targets across many industry niches, including, clothing, retailer, road transport, supermarkets and pharmacies.
Who We Work With
Our mission is to make it as easy and seamless as possible for our subscriber firms to provide their clients with Business Advisory Services.
Accounting Firms
Our subscribers range from Sole Practitioners through to some of Australia’s top mid-tier accounting firms.
Consultants and Industry Experts
Industry experts and specialists looking to leverage proven, 'plug and play' templates specific to the challenges faced by its clients operating in niche markets.
Bookkeepers
We’ve found that with their grounding in the day to day transactions of the business, bookkeepers make for excellent Business Advisors and are well placed to successfully deliver such services to their clients.
...so helpful
I've been familiar with Peter since the mid-80's when he was operating his accounting practice. The tools and papers prepared by ESS are so helpful. Instead of trying to create my own, they are already there, ready to go, and they just work.
Some of the tools I've referred to and used in serving my clients over one hundred times.
I recommend the ESS tool kit to other practitioners at any opportunity I get.
...full confidence in executing advisory services
The tools and materials produced by ESS BIZTOOLS are complete and thorough, giving me full confidence in executing advisory services with my clients. The devil is in the detail in executing these types of engagements - and with the tools and support by ESS BIZTOOLS, I have all of the details and answers I need. Peter is also friendly and approachable which is a major help!

Business Advisory & COVID-19 - where are we at? With guest speaker, Peter Towers of ESS BIZTOOLS
For the first podcast episode, I asked Peter Towers to share what he has seen after talking to many accountants around Australia during COVID-19. He shares his view on how COVID-19 has affected accounting firms, what specifically he has seen with some firms really taking advantage of the crisis and how he thinks Business Advisory offerings should be managed out of this. Peter has worked with accountants for many years and his insights are very valuable.
