2025 was a reminder that good accounting isn’t flashy.

It’s consistent. Intentional. And built on trust.

Over the past year, we’ve had the opportunity to work alongside founders, finance leaders, and accounting partners who care deeply about getting the fundamentals right. The result was a year of steady growth, deeper relationships, and meaningful work.

Throughout 2025, FirmKey supported organizations through end-to-end accounting, fractional CFO services, audits, and complex accounting operations, helping teams stay focused while their businesses grew.

We pulled together FirmKey Wrapped 2025 as a snapshot of what the year looked like in numbers and milestones.

A Year of Steady Growth in Accounting Engagements

This year, FirmKey continued to grow, but not at the expense of quality.

We welcomed 48 new clients and launched 136 new accounting engagements, many of which evolved into longer-term, recurring relationships. In fact, 54 engagements became monthly recurring accounting relationships, reinforcing our belief that strong partnerships are built over time.

We also saw our average engagement size grow by 14.6%, a reflection of clearer scoping, better fit, and clients trusting us with more responsibility across their accounting and finance functions.

Deeper Relationships, Not Just More Work

One of the most meaningful indicators for us this year was expansion.

In 2025, 25 clients expanded their services with FirmKey. That kind of growth doesn’t come from upselling. It comes from showing up consistently, doing the work well, and earning trust.

We also reached a milestone we’re particularly proud of:

26 organizations trusted FirmKey to run their entire accounting operation, from month-end close to compliance and financial reporting.

This level of ownership reflects the role we aim to play: not just advisors, but long-term partners in accounting operations.

The Work That Showed Up Again and Again

As the year unfolded, clear patterns emerged in the accounting services clients leaned on most, including:

Pre-Market Cleanups
Financial Statement Audits
End-to-End Accounting
Fractional CFO Services
Post-Transaction Integrations

These weren’t one-off needs. They were repeat requests tied to real growth, increasing complexity, and moments of change inside organizations.
