卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间

despite beginning in chaos and uncertainty with the biggest tax-law change in three decades, busy season 2018 may go down as a banner year in the books for the tax profession – one of the best ever, according to the annual 卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间 busy season barometer.

scroggs

kathy j. scroggs, of scroggs & associates in montecito, calif., says, “my team is working like a well-tuned grand piano.”

almost half of all cpas report a busy season better than last year, with more work and higher profits. additionally, two-thirds cite gains in revenue and in the number of clients.

one tax practitioner, reporting a “much better year,” is riding a wave of shifting clientele. “i’m having more people coming in to prepare and use e-file, more than last year,” he tells 卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间, “especially new business owners opening llcs.”

productized 1099s the new vision way

two women talkingthis is the only way they’re handled.

by jody padar
from success to significance: the radical cpa guide

here’s the old-school way of completing 1099s:

cpa calls customer before year-end reminding them 1099s need to be completed for january. cpa reminds customer to send in names, addresses and amounts for 1099s to be issued. cpa waits for complete data, usually missing at least one address. cpa rushes at last minute to enter data in 1099 system and issue 1099s. cpas have multiple customers who act like this, creating havoc and late nights in january.
