The tax advisory world is changing faster than ever before. When I first started my firm, technology played a limited role – mostly in the form of software that helped with basic data entry, compliance and tax returns.

Case Study 1: From $150,000 in Tax Savings to 1,400 Percent ROI

The Situation: This client was an executive with a complex financial situation, including private equity investments that generated dozens of K-1s. When I initially reviewed his self-prepared return, I found that he had misclassified a capital gain sale as royalty income, which led to an overstatement of income by hundreds of thousands of dollars.
