Every tax season #TaxTwitter is packed with firm owners complaining about the same capacity struggles, year after year. 😩 Yet almost none take meaningful action afterward to increase staff capacity. 🚀
Some things never change. 🤷♂️

SaaS will slowly die ⚰️ Agents + intelligent databases are the future 🧠📊 The race to digitize all unstructured data is on, making way for on-demand, adaptive, low-cost custom software built with no code! 🚀 Real-time, custom systems will be the norm.

Looked at both TOA Global and Accodal. Accodal was by far the better option. Also, fellow #TaxTwitter member @Taxcountant is a partner at the firm.

Worrying about the exam/150 Hour rule while the industry as a whole is falling out of relevance because it's not attractive for BIGGER reasons is like trying to water a single tree while the entire forest burns down around it. #taxtwitter
The traditional firm model boils down to the financing of the future value of something that won't exist in 10-20 years from young CPAs that buy into the partnership. Whoever is left holding the bag loses. #TaxTwitter

The accounting industry treats people terribly and doesn’t pay well for the skill level.

I think it’s because accountants are seen as having the worst work life balance

I was a big four tax accountant and now I'm a software developer and life is dramatically better as a dev. Pay too.
