CPE Webinar: Start Simple. Scale Naturally. Building a Tax Technology Strategy for Long-Term Growth

The most successful firms don't build their technology strategy around software. They build it around removing friction.

This webinar will be held on Tuesday, September 22 at 2:00pm ET
Sponsor: Wolters Kluwer
Duration: 1 Hour

Join Mark McAndrew for a forward-looking discussion on how small accounting firms can align technology decisions with business goals, staffing realities, client expectations, and future growth plans. Mark will explore how firms can create a connected foundation for tax work, identify the next source of workflow friction, and add the right capabilities at the right time without overcomplicating the business.

Whether your goal is improving capacity, enhancing the client experience, increasing operational visibility, or creating more time for higher-value services, this session will provide a practical framework for making smarter technology decisions. Register today to learn how to build a firm that can adapt, grow, and thrive in the years ahead.

  1. Evaluate technology decisions through the lens of firm growth, capacity creation, and client service improvement.
