EXPERT OPINION

The accounting industry is undergoing a major shake-up. With technology accelerating change and traditional talent pipelines shrinking, firms are rethinking their strategies. Xero’s 2025 industry report shows advisory services now generate nearly a third of revenue, signalling a shift towards digital literacy, sector specialisation, and advisory work. Adaptability and new skills are becoming the profession’s defining currency.
