Accounting & Finance Firms

Accounting firms face extreme seasonality and client deadline pressure. From tax season surges to year-end audits, managing capacity and profitability requires precision. Monton helps accounting practices deliver consistent quality while maximizing efficiency.

The Accounting Firm Challenge

Accounting practices operate under unique constraints:

Seasonal peaks: Tax season and year-end create massive workload swings that stress resources.

Deadline pressure: Missing client deadlines can have legal and financial consequences.

Diverse service mix: Audit, tax, advisory, and bookkeeping each have different economics.

Staff development: Balancing client work with CPE requirements and staff training.

Write-offs and realization: Time written off and not billed directly impacts profitability.

Real-World Use Cases

Seasonal planning: A CPA firm used Monton to visualize their February-April workload 6 months in advance. They identified a 40% capacity gap and hired seasonal staff in time, avoiding the usual rush.

Write-off reduction: By tracking time accurately from day one, the firm reduced write-offs from 18% to 8% of billings. Partners could address scope issues in real-time rather than at billing.

Service line profitability: Analysis revealed that bookkeeping services had 15% margins while tax preparation had 45%. The firm restructured pricing and eventually transitioned low-margin services to more efficient delivery models.
