What the Numbers Are Really Telling Us: Industry Benchmarks Every Accounting Firm Should Know
Mark sits down with Matt Feehan from Three Rivers Group and M2 Academy to unpack two of the most talked-about reports in the accounting industry right now - the Smithink Partner Crunch Report 2025 and the Benchmarking Data & Research Accounting Industry Report 2025. From revenue per partner and staff productivity through to profitability, lockup days, write-offs, and the compliance-versus-advisory debate, Mark and Matt cut through the numbers and share what they actually mean for firm owners on the ground. Practical, honest, and at times a little confronting, this one's worth a listen whether your firm is flying or you're quietly wondering if the benchmarks are trying to tell you something. How to Register for The Crunch 2026 Register before 31 March 2026, and you’ll receive 50% off the standard price, bringing it to $247.50. You submit your practice data through a secure questionnaire, typically in 30 to 45 minutes, using information you already have in your practice management systems. From there, your data is quality-checked, anonymised, and aggregated, and you receive a comprehensive benchmark report showing exactly where your firm sits and what the top performers are doing differently. It becomes a strategic tool you can use throughout the year, for pricing reviews, partner discussions, investment decisions, and performance monitoring.
