The dream maker

Article Abstract:

Ghanaian-born chartered accountant Kofi Hadjor has carved out a comfortable niche by handling the tax preparation needs of clients who work in the arts, fashion and entertainment communities. A graduate of the University of Guelph and the University of Windsor, Hadjor began his accounting training at Delloite & Touche where he spent six years before he set out on his own. In 1986, he set up Creative Arts Tax Services, which now bills some $400,000 a year for financial and tax planning advice given to clients in the arts community of Toronto, Canada.

Two engines, one track

Article Abstract:

Public accountants are increasingly offering management consulting services. At Canada's Big Six accounting firms, consultations already account for almost 60% of revenues, with management consulting comprising less than 20%. In the 1980s, the opposite was true as consultative activities consisted of 40% of their revenues while auditing, their traditional money-earner, accounted for 60%. The increasing share of management consulting in the revenues of accounting firms reflect the growing shift in their mix of services.
