Automation tools increasingly used by seasoned tax professionals are helping to take some of the pain and manual labor out of routine compliance work.
That futuristic tech goes beyond robotics process automation and can link together the many programs and platforms that accountants rely on everyday. Those building blocks can automate every step in the tax process from onboarding clients to tax return delivery, according to John McGowan, the CEO of Hubsync and former chief information officer for two Big Four tax practices.
On this episode of Talking Tax, McGowan talks to Bloomberg Tax about the challenges that firms face in adopting new ways of working and how it can not only help get work done faster but could make CPA firms more attractive to job candidates and clients alike.
