Matthew Brannelly - How to Unleash Accountants Creative Streak amid Major Changes

When it comes to issues such as Lead Advisory Roles, nobody knows this better than Matthew Brannelly. He is at the forefront of this concept of ensuring that accountants revamp their style of working, which has been largely influenced by changes in how permits are issued in this sector.

Since accountants' financial advisory role to SMSF was repealed a long time ago in the year 2016, for those who are still looking forward to continuing with this role will have to do it under the watchful eye of the Australian Financial Services License, which could either be full or limited. Depending on the role taken.

Matthew Brannelly continues to say that up to recent times since the financial advisory role was revamped, not many accountants have taken up the limited side of the license. This is because ever since many accountants have been forced to reconsider their roles while others have completely refused to be dragged into this whole license issue. They have decided to sit back and watch from the periphery.

This because if left unaddressed, then there will be further income losses by accountants now that one of the main sources of their revenues, the SMSF advisory role has been shut down completely. According to him, it is high time accountants got creative by creating other sources of income if they are to get out of this rut.

As for these new sources of income, according to Matthew Brannelly, the best way to go about it is by taking a proper look at the database of their clientele base and reorganizing it accordingly. This will enable them to easily identify the areas that will easily be the source of new revenue. Besides, they could be lead advisors. Through such roles, they will only take up the most important segments for their clients while delegating the rest to trusted partners but under strict supervision from them.
