Secondly, the results show that, in addition to seeking traditional accounting services, 56% of SMEs seek
advice in business planning and about one third of SMEs seek advice in the non-accounting areas such as financing
(29%), sales and marketing (31%), and human resources planning and remuneration (29%). In other words, a large
percentage of SMEs also expect that accounting firms provide services in non-accounting areas and they would like
to have “one-stop shopping” services.
