Course Description

This CPD Online webinar is for Canadian CPAs only!!

Organizations have had to embrace enormous change in the face of COVID-19. And, for CPAs, some things may never be the same again. The pandemic may not yet be behind us, but organizations have had to quickly adjust to the disruption and, in particular, the way business is now done. Accounting firms were no exception.

A critical time for any accounting firm is the tax season. It is the season when they are the busiest, and by association, this is also the time when they can generate a lot of revenue. On-time and error-free tax preparation is the need of the season. This helps avoid delays, fines, and penalties. More importantly, if you are on top of your reporting, you can manage client expectations better, and no client will come to you expressing disappointment.

In this CPD webinar speaker will discuss some best practices learned with experience which will help you keep sane during the tax work. Also, it is it’s vital to have a solid plan for rebuilding and getting your team, your operations, and your cash flow back on track after tax season.

In this informational webinar, you’ll also learn the power moves that will accelerate your progress and propel your practice back into high gear. Also, we have highlighted the challenges faced by different accountants and firms based on workflow efficiency, productivity, and extra paperwork due to government subsidies, new allowable home expenses, and additional income that some of their clients had generated through “side hustles”.
