Fireside Chat & Networking I Discussing Where tax & Advisory is going and what comes NEXT
🔥If you are ready to take BOLDER BETS - JOIN US - 7th October, Mumbai BKC
No agenda. No panel. No presentations.
Just an open, honest conversation about:
How Tax & Advisory is Changing. Where Is the Next Big Opportunity?
And because there’s no rigid agenda, you as a guest get to shape the conversation too.
Q&A and fireside chat
1. AI & The future of Professional Services
What parts of tax, consulting and advisory will AI change first? What work will remain firmly human?
How are Big 4 firms preparing for the AI shift?
What becomes the new value of a tax/advisory professional when AI can provide answers instantly?
Will clients pay for hours, or for insight, judgement and outcomes?
2. The Advisory Firm of the Future
Traditional tax advisory vs technology-led advisory models
How are client expectations changing?
Are mid-sized and boutique firms winning work that once went to the Big 4?
Can specialist firms compete through technology, speed and expertise?
What does the advisory career and firm of the future look like?
What will clients continue to need external advisors for?
3. The Managed Services Opportunity
Are managed services becoming a bigger part of professional services?
Which tax, finance and advisory services can be delivered from India to global clients?
Where is this already happening US, Middle East, UK and other markets?
Managed services vs traditional outsourcing...What is really different?
4. Building, scaling & valuing
Should firms invest heavily in AI and technology or consolidate through M&A?
Are investors becoming more interested in tax and advisory businesses?
What makes a professional-services firm attractive to investors / investable?
What makes a firm more valuable: people, recurring revenue, technology, IP, clients or global reach?
