First Research is located in North Carolina, USA. We know the people there very well. They are the most delightful people you could ever want to meet and they provide excellent (as in EXCELLENT) research reports on many industries. Each report is from 10 to 15 pages and is essential reading for any person who has a client in one of the 110 industries (December, 2001) covered. The reports are continually being updated and added to and in addition to important factual data, they contain commentary on industry trends, questions that you should ask your clients and relevant internet links to related industry sites.
Information of the type provided by First Research will not only give you insights into your clients' industries they will help you differentiate yourself from other accountants who don't seem to care less about the fundamental issues facing their clients' business. In the increasingly competitive accounting environment, this sort of differentiator is invaluable-worth far more than the modest fee they charge.
Even if you are not practicing in the USA the information provided in these research reports is phenomenally valuable. If there's one thing we've found from our work with accountants around the globe it's that the issues facing their clients are the same. Take a look at one of the free reports on this site and judge for yourself.
