The time for tax disruption is now
Summary
Accountants have seen technology change what they do — computers, email and software have put paper forms and calculators in the distant past. Yet, tax vendors haven’t always had the technology solutions to keep up with what practitioners need, making radical tech adoption a distant goal for many. But that translates into a gap in the marketplace where individuals will search for technology to do services that their CPA used to do if accountants can’t figure out how to be more efficient. The profession has the interest of private equity, and venture capital firms that have found out that tax can be a profitable business. That includes the people side of the business, emotional intelligence, management and leadership skills, and how to communicate.
