        ed mendlowitz, the 卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间 “practice doctor”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

        since 1980 i have been presenting “managing your tax season” programs for many accounting groups including the aicpa, njscpa, nysscpa, and ctscpa. i have also authored two books for the aicpa with that title, written many articles for the journal of accountancy on the subject and developed and presented four webinars for accounting today institute, also on the topic.<\/p>\n

        two personal benefits of the writing and speaking is that it focuses me on what is happening, the processes, error avoidance, interaction with clients and forces me to be able to clearly relay what i see and possible solutions. the other benefit is the calls i receive from hundreds of cpas asking questions or letting me know how they do things. in some way, i have become a clearinghouse for tax season processes and procedures.<\/p>\n

        the tax season opportunity guide<\/em> is a condensation of some major procedures and methods to better serve your clients, grow your practice and have more fun. everything here works \u2013 whether for me, my firm or the hundreds of cpas that shared what they do. knowing how busy tax preparers are during that time of year i tried to be as stingy with words as possible working with bullets and brief introductions to each section. these 27 ways work. try some, or even one \u2013 but do something and get started on making more money, servicing clients better and having more fun!<\/p>\n
