INDEPENDENT RESEARCH REPORT
All Accounted For 2026
New Silverfin research has landed. We surveyed 500 accountants across five European markets to find out why advisory demand is outpacing what firms can deliver. Read the report to get the full picture.
WHAT'S INSIDE
The demand is there. The capacity isn’t.
Right now, clients are asking accountants for more advice than most firms can deliver. So we went looking for the gap: where capacity is disappearing, what it’s costing, and what it takes to win it back.
This is the second edition of All Accounted For. Inside you’ll find the full dataset, country by country breakdowns, and what the findings mean for a firm like yours.
