Invested In Your Success

From the April/May 2008 Issue

The technology vendors who serve your practice may not be listed as a partner on your firm’s letterhead, but they are invested in your firm. From general small business needs to highly specialized products and services for tax compliance, research, general accounting, payroll, write-up, financial analysis, tax planning and document management, these technology vendors are crucial to your firm’s productivity, efficiency and profitability. And your firm is critical to their success, as well.

This mutually beneficial relationship between accounting and tax professionals and the companies who deliver hardware, software and services to them is becoming more and more important as we grow increasingly reliant on technologies for all aspects of running an accounting or tax firm. From the second a client or potential client walks through your door or visits your website, various technologies help enhance the services you provide to these clients, while others enable more effective practice management and control.

But who are they? Where are they located? What other products do they offer? With literally hundreds of technology vendors serving the profession, it can be a challenge trying to learn more about them. That’s what this special section is for: To give technology companies the opportunity to tell you a bit more about themselves and why they would like to join your practice. Think of it as a pre-interview that will give you a head start on finding the technologies that can bring your practice greater productivity and profitability by helping you to work smarter, not harder.
