Bookkeeping Service Business Plan – SWOT Analysis


Chris Morgan Financial Consulting, LLC engaged the services of a core professional in the
area of business consulting and structuring to assist the firm in building a well – structured
bookkeeping and payroll services firm that can favorably compete in the highly competitive
financial consulting services industry.
Part of what the team of business consultant did was to work with the management of our
organization in conducting a SWOT analysis for Chris Morgan Financial Consulting, LLC.
Here is a summary from the result of the SWOT analysis that was conducted on behalf of
Chris Morgan Financial Consulting, LLC;

 Strength:

Our core strength lies in the power of our team; our workforce. We have a team that can go
all the way to give our clients value for their money; a team that are trained and equipped to
pay attention to details and to deliver excellent jobs. We are well positioned and we know
we will attract loads of clients from the first day we open our doors for business.

 Weakness:

As a new travels and tours agency, it might take some time for our organization to break
into the market and gain acceptance especially from corporate clients in the already
saturated financial consulting services industry; that is perhaps our major weakness. So
also we may not have the required cash to give our business the kind of publicity we would
have loved to.

 Opportunities:

The opportunities in the financial consulting services industry is massive considering the
number of mom and pop businesses, start – ups and of course corporate organizations who
can’t afford to do without the services of bookkeeping and payroll service providers. As a
standard and well – positioned bookkeeping and payroll service provider, we are ready to
take advantage of any opportunity that comes our way.

 Threat:

Some of the threats that we are likely going to face as a bookkeeping and payroll service
firm operating in the United States are unfavorable government policies, the arrival of a
competitor within our location of operations and global economic downturn which usually
affects purchasing / spending power. There is hardly anything we can do as regards these
threats other than to be optimistic that things will continue to work for our good.

Bookkeeping Service Business Plan – MARKET ANALYSIS

 Market Trends

The financial consulting services industry is indeed a very large industry and of course it is
one industry that works for businesses across different industries. If you are conversant with
the trend in the financial consulting services industry, you will agree that loads of mom and
pops, businesses, and start – up ventures that do not have the capacity to hire chatter
accountants to keep their books would naturally hire the services of bookkeeping and
payroll services providers who would usually charge them service charge.
Relatively, it is cheaper and less stressful to hire the services of bookkeeping and payroll
service providers as against employing a qualified accountant. The truth is that, it is
common to find even bigger firms contracting their bookkeeping and auditing concerns to
competent financial / auditing firms because it is cost effective to do so.
Another notable trend in the financial consulting services industry is that in the last five
years, the industry has performed impressively as a large reduction in unemployment
boosted the revenue generated in the industry. So also, the financial consulting services
industry has benefited from the advancement of online and computer payroll and
bookkeeping services, with new cloud-based offerings providing a new revenue stream for
operators, and attracting new customers.
Going forward, increasing product penetration and of course an expanding customer base
is expected to drive growth in the industry.

 Our Target Market

The demographic and psychographics composition of those who need the services of
bookkeeping and payroll services providers cuts across both small businesses and large
corporations.
Chris Morgan Financial Consulting, LLC will initially serve small to medium sized business,
from new ventures to well established businesses and individual clients, but that does not in
any way stop us from growing to be able to compete with the leading bookkeeping and
payroll service firms in the United States.
As a standard and licensed bookkeeping and payroll service firm, Chris Morgan Financial
Consulting, LLC offers a wide range of financial consulting services hence we are well
trained and equipped to services a wide range of clientele base.

Our Competitive Advantage


The level of competitions in the financial consulting services industry depends largely on the
location of the business and of course the niche of your financial consulting services. If you
can successfully create a unique brand identity for your bookkeeping and payroll services
firm or carve out a unique market, you are likely going to experience less competition.
For instance if you are one of the few bookkeeping and payroll firms in your locations that
also offer tax consulting and financial auditing services you are likely going to have a
competitive advantage over your competitors.
Although the competition in the bookkeeping and payroll services line of business is not just
within same service providers but also other financial consulting related service providers in
the financial consulting services industry. For example, it is now easier for you an auditing
firm to also handle bookkeeping and payroll services for its clients.
We are quite aware that to be highly competitive in the financial consulting services industry
means that we should be able to deliver consistent quality service, our clients should be
able to experience remarkable difference cum improvement and we should be able to meet
the expectations of clients.

services industry in the United States of America, but the management staffs and owners of
the business are considered gurus. They are people who are core professionals and

are part of what will count as a competitive advantage for us.
Lastly, our employees will be well taken care of, and their welfare package will be amongst
the best within our category (start – ups bookkeeping and payroll service providers) in the
industry meaning that they will be more than willing to build the business with us and help
deliver our set goals and achieve all our aims and objectives.
Bookkeeping Service Business Plan – SALES AND MARKETING STRATEGY
We are mindful of the fact that there is stiffer competition amongst bookkeeping and payroll
service providers and other related financial consulting service providers in the United
States of America; hence we have been able to hire some of the best business developer to
handle our sales and marketing.

industry and they will be trained on a regular basis so as to be well equipped to meet their
targets and the overall goal of the organization. We will also ensure that our excellent job
deliveries speaks for us in the market place; we want to build a standard bookkeeping and

 Our Pricing Strategy

Hourly billing for financial consulting services is a long – time tradition in the industry.
However, for some types of financial consultancy services, flat fees make more sense
because they allow clients to better predict consultancy costs. As a result of this, Chris

such as bookkeeping and payroll services and business advisory services and tax
consulting et al.
At Chris Morgan Financial Consulting, LLC we will keep our fees below the average market
rate for all of our clients by keeping our overhead low and by collecting payment in advance.
In addition, we will also offer special discounted rates to start – ups, nonprofits,
cooperatives, and small social enterprises.

consultancy and advisory services and assistance, we will offer flat rate for such services
that will be tailored to take care of such clients’ needs.
