The growth observed in the historic period can be ascribed to an increased need for financial planning software, rising demand for financial consulting services in emerging markets, growing significance of data analytics, heightened demand for mobile financial consulting solutions, and an increased appetite for personalized financial advice.

The financial consulting software market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $8.69 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.5%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be linked to the rising adoption of cloud-based financial consulting software, a heightened emphasis on compliance and risk management, an increased demand for mobile financial consulting solutions, a growing need for financial planning software, and an enhanced significance of data analytics.

The growth of the financial consulting software market is expected to be propelled by the increasing prevalence of Software as a Service (SaaS). Software as a Service (SaaS) denotes a cloud-based software delivery model enabling end-users to access software applications through the internet. SaaS enhances the accessibility of financial consulting software through features such as cloud-based deployment, subscription models, and seamless updates. This approach fosters greater acceptance and scalability for financial consulting firms while reducing upfront costs and IT complexity. The surge in SaaS adoption is anticipated to drive the utilization of financial consulting software. For example, a report by BetterCloud, a US-based SaaS management platform, revealed an increase in the average number of SaaS applications per company from 110 in 2021 to 130 in 2022. The utilization of Software as a Service (SaaS) applications by companies has already reached approximately 70% of their overall software usage and is projected to further increase to an estimated 85% by 2025. Consequently, the rising prevalence of Software as a Service (SaaS) is steering the financial consulting software market.

The growth of small- and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) is poised to drive the financial consulting software market. Small- and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) are characterized by limited employees and moderate annual revenues, and financial consulting software plays a crucial role in supporting them. By offering tailored solutions to enhance financial management, streamline operations, and optimize decision-making, financial consulting software contributes to the overall growth and success of SMEs in the market. According to a report by The Office of Advocacy (Advocacy), an independent office within the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), SMEs continue to be a significant force in the U.S. economy, representing 99.9% of American businesses, employing 61.7 million people, and contributing 46.4% to private sector employment as of the latest available data in 2022. Over the period from 1995 to the present, SMEs have generated 17.3 million net new jobs, constituting 62.7% of the total net jobs created during this timeframe. Hence, the growth of small- and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) is steering the financial consulting software market.


Cloud-based innovation emerges as a prominent trend gaining traction in the financial consulting software market. Companies within this market are actively embracing cloud-based solutions to maintain their competitive positions. For example, in September 2023, Snowflake, a data cloud company based in the United States, introduced the Financial Services Data Cloud.

Prominent companies in the financial consulting software market are strategically focusing on innovative launches, such as the customer acquisition solution, to deliver personalized experiences for marketing partners.
