If you employ a"good, better, best" value-added pricing model for your firm, which one of the above three would best reflect your preferred client group?
Advisory is more than reporting and it's more than compliance documents, it's really even more than analytics. Advisory is the ability to scrutinize reporting, summarize the financial statements, and elucidate the analytics. Advising is turning the mundane into the fascinating and providing a perspective that nobody else can deliver.
Are you doing that? Can you do that? Do you even know how that kind of 'Advisory' is possible? Well, the answer is Qvinci.
Qvinci is reporting, Qvinci is compliance, Qvinci is analytics, and Qvinci is advisory.
Qvinci provides extraordinary financial reporting at the click of a mouse. And Qvinci provides custom financial statements to meet all your compliance requirements with the same click. At the same time, Qvinci's wealth of analytics turn metrics into insights. But most importantly, Qvinci's advisory features give you the clarity and confidence you need to help your clients make the best possible business decisions.
Anybody can pull basic financial reports out of QuickBooks and chances are if you client has access to their QuickBooks data they are pulling them out right and left trying to figure out why they need a 3rd-party who is simply 'spiffing up' QuickBooks reports by cleaning up the headers and footers. QuickBooks can even spit out some 'half-way' clean financial compliance statements, a Profit & Loss that their Banker wants, or a Balance Sheet their capital resource lender requests from time-to-time.
Start looking beyond those things, and QuickBooks is lacking, except for the most expensive versions like QuickBooks Online-Advanced or Intuit Enterprise Suite. If your client needs analytics like key performance metrics then QuickBooks isn't going to do the job alone. There are at least a dozen, or more, apps that will plug right into QuickBooks for $20 to $40 per month per file that will give you a half-dozen or perhaps a few more KPMs, but displaying those numbers doesn't interpret them for you, nor do the numbers alone help your clients.
And then there is the subject of 'cash flow.' Yep, there are an entirely different set of apps for that, each charging you a monthly fee for every QB-file they come into contact with. They can crunch the numbers and give you a 30, 60, 90 (or perhaps slightly longer) cash flow forecasts. But they can't really tell you what those forecasts will be if you make a 2% change in you cost-of-goods sold, or you reduce inventory by 1%, or if your revenues go up or down by 1/3 of a percent over the next three months. Now can they identify which of those changes will have the most significant impact on your client's business success or failure.
If you would like to learn how to do all those tasks the old fashioned way, I can give you the name a great textbook that's all about 'Business Analysis with QuickBooks' written fifteen years ago. But if you would rather have a single "source of truth" that gives you the business intelligence you need to turn your reporting and compliance practice into a true Client Advisory Services practice, then I encourage you to attend the upcoming Qvinci focused Future Forward webinar at 1:00 PM (Eastern) on Wednesday, December 10, 2025.
Charles Nagel, Brad Adams and I will be showing you how how Qvinci’s turns QuickBooks data into sophisticated business intelligence, and in so doing, can transform how you can deliver value while at the same time provide you with the clarity and confidence you need to advise you clients on the best possible decisions for their businesses.
The webinar will zip you through how the Qvinci Turnkey Advisor Program can transition you and your firm from the 'same old, same old' to the status of extraordinary trusted advisor. And also help you make that transition in a few days rather than weeks or months.
So give yourself a big 'Christmas gift' and put Qvinci under the tree of your accounting, bookkeeping or consulting practice this year. When you do, you will have a Happy New 2026 year indeed.
