Welcome to our Paperless Tax Preparation Blog!
Posted by Ed Jennings on Tue, Sep 22, 2009
The term "paperless tax workflow" has been thrown around a lot in the last year or two. If you've been keeping up with the accounting trade publications (and I'm sure you have), you'd see that it's
everywhere. But what does it mean? The idea of "paperless" in the abstract is kind of overwhelming. Sure, there's the obvious, literal translation: a tax workflow without paper. But how do you go from a high-level concept to actual day-to-day implementation? And, most importantly,
how hard is it?
It's not as hard as you think.
In a recent survey we conducted, we learned that 83% of firms that had implemented a paperless tax workflow found the transition to be as easy as—or easier than—expected!
So how do you get started?
That's where we come in. We're creating a hub of information where any tax professional can come to learn about the paperless tax preparation process. Whether you're just getting started or looking to take your paperless tax workflow to the next level, this blog will be a one-stop-shop where you will be able to find relevant articles, case studies, and tools to help you along the way. And, most importantly, this blog will serve as an online forum where you and your peers can come to learn from each other—share real-life experiences, tips, and best practices.
Get ready to dive in!
Over the next few months we'll be individually exploring each of the key elements of a paperless tax workflow—and how going paperless can ultimately improve efficiency, while allowing your preparation staff to focus on value added activities.
