Why do Businesses need Advisory?

Businesses look for advisory services because these are often things and areas where they are facing challenges and are unable to perform on their own. Advisory services are value-added services and are more expensive than compliance services.

Financial-accounting-and-advisory firms are capable of providing tailor-made and personalized recommendations. If these advisory firms are large, they form committees and act as a team and impose their decisions on challenging issues rather than just providing opinions.

There are also increasing demands from regulators on financial reporting and disclosure requirements and many businesses find these extremely challenging and look for advisory services to help them out.
