New River Innovation Launches Beyond415 - The First Practitioner Response System for IRS Issues

Greensboro, NC – April 19, 2011 – New River Innovation
(www.newriverinnovation.com) announced today the launch of
Beyond415 -a powerful and intuitive SaaS
application designed to help accounting professionals quickly address IRS
issues and respond to notices for their clients. Beyond415 automates
post-filing IRS issues from start to finish-helping practitioners save time,
get it right on the first attempt, and better serve their clients.

“The IRS issued 201 million notices in 2009; that’s a 670% increase since
2001. For practitioners, this means more IRS work is coming there way-work
that many find frustrating, time consuming, and confusing,” said Jim
Buttonow, CPA, 19-year IRS veteran, and cofounder of New River Innovation.

“We assembled a team of tax professionals and technology experts to develop
best practices for working with the IRS. Our vision is to offer a
comprehensive solution that provides firms with automated best practices for
every IRS notice and issue-supported by the most current information for tax
pros and their staff.”

Beyond415 provides expert guidance for analyzing a client’s situation,
options for client IRS account research, and tools for solution evaluation
and comparison. Practitioners can select and customize their response to an
IRS issue. The system then pre-populates the necessary documents including
IRS forms, customized cover letters, worksheets, cover sheets, and document
request forms-all in the IRS’s accepted formats.

“Beyond415 reduces the learning curve not only for practitioners, but also
for office staff,” Buttonow said. “The system’s guided, authoritative
approach enables administrative staff to handle IRS notices with reduced
support.”

“We know that efficiency is at the heart of today’s successful accounting
firms,” said Alan Neely, CEO of New River Innovation. “Clients want IRS
issues behind them, so we created a system that embeds practical content and
customer care features to streamline the entire workflow. This allows firms
to provide expedited assistance to clients.”

Beyond415 is offered through select tax and accounting software partners.
