What the Numbers Are Really Telling Us: Industry Benchmarks Every Accounting Firm Should Know
Monday, 16 March, 2026

Mark sits down with Matt Feehan from Three Rivers Group and M2 Academy to unpack two of the most talked-about reports in the accounting industry right now - the Smithink Partner Crunch Report 2025 and the Benchmarking Data & Research Accounting Industry Report 2025. From revenue per partner and staff productivity through to profitability, lockup days, write-offs, and the compliance-versus-advisory debate, Mark and Matt cut through the numbers and share what they actually mean for firm owners on the ground. Practical, honest, and at times a little confronting, this one's worth a listen whether your firm is flying or you're quietly wondering if the benchmarks are trying to tell you something.
