What technology or business process does Sasan see affecting the tax

“Work beyond the desktop and office… growing staffing pressures and
instant access expectations from more web savvy clients will force accountants
to work beyond the office and desktop… remote employees and online collaboration
will grow… the need to become productive will be a must. Expanded service
offerings… tax self service and work efficiency will drive prices/revenues
down in core services, while aging client base generates demand for new services.”
