The Future of QuickBooks Consulting:
Tremendous Opportunities & Challenges

In the recent Scaling New Heights conference, Intuit, Joe Woodard, and others predicted the future of QuickBooks consulting, especially between now and the year 2020.  In short, most Bookkeeping and Tax work will go away; consultants must offer mobile and custom solutions and advice to survive and thrive.

• 1. Nationwide and Global Opportunities using the Web Cloud and Mobile.
  Devices will be mostly Smartphones and iPad / Tablets.
  More focus on bigger clients who need and demand more custom, specialized services.
  
• 2. Interpretation of Data Wins.
  By 2020 35 times MORE data generated than now.  Consultants must be able to meet the demand to effectively utilize this data with customized databases and reports.
  
• 3. Analysis, Advice and Specialization with Mobile and Custom Solutions.
  Bookkeeping, tax and data entry will decrease due to automation and outsourcing.
  To survive and thrive, consultants must provide mobile and custom solutions.
