Proactive vs. Reactive

“72% of private business owners have switched CPA firms because the firm ‘did not give proactive advice, only reactive service.'” [The Sleeter Group.]

Pyrotechnic display shot from a barge with nice water reflection of the fireworks and silhouettes

96% of all businesses fail within 10 years, with 80% failing within the first two years. But even the 4% that make it aren’t necessarily successful or profitable; it just means they’ve survived. If this weren’t enough… 95% of companies will never reach $1 million in annual sales. And out of these rare few, 95% won’t ever make it to $5 million. And of those, 98% won’t get to $10 million. Less than a tenth of a percent will make it to $10 million. And very, very few go beyond $100 million. [Sabri Suby]
