SAS Communications 360 Partners with Leading CPA Firm Root & Associates

SAS Communications 360, LLC (SAS) principal,
Kristy Short, has announced a newly formed partnership between her public
relations and marketing firm and RootWorks, LLC—the new consulting arm
of leading accounting practice Root & Associates, LLC. Short is working
hand-in-hand with RootWorks’ managing partners to publicize its consulting
services, specifically the launch of its Leadership Communities. SAS specializes
in public relations and marketing services for the tax and accounting profession.

“I’m excited to be part of the launch and promotion of RootWorks.
The initiative is lead by Darren Root who is known for his tech-savvy vision
and expertise in applying best practices to increase process efficiencies firm
wide,” said Short. “Through the newly established RootWorks Leadership
Communities, Root is taking his expertise to the streets with a focus on helping
small to mid-sized accounting firms prosper. I’m happy to be a part of
it.”

RootWorks Leadership Communities are exclusive groups (or forums) comprised
of forward-thinking tax and accounting firms. Community members are brought
together twice a year to share best practices, examine common issues, and identify
workable solutions. While onsite, members engage in roundtable discussions,
leadership and software training, and are updated on current technologies to
help operate their firms at peak efficiency.

“We are just as excited to work with SAS Communications 360, and specifically
Kristy Short on this initiative. With media and marketing services that cater
to the CPA, she’s exceptionally knowledgeable about firm workflows, the
importance of integrated software, and in general what CPAs need to be successful,”
said Darren Root, RootWorks CEO. “Our media relations and marketing efforts
have been that much stronger as a result of working with SAS.”

SAS and RootWorks professionals are concentrating on creating a strong web
presence and attaining media attention for RootWorks and the firm’s Leadership
Communities. The first Leadership Community meets May 13-14, 2009, in Indianapolis,
Indiana.
