The top technologies for tax and accounting professionals were honored on Tuesday at the Los Angeles Convention Center. The 16th annual Tax & Accounting Technology Innovation Awards were presented by CPA Practice Advisor during a special ceremony at the Accounting & Business Show – LA. The event, held July 23-24, gathered more than 2,500 financial professionals from across the country for more than 130 accounting and tax education sessions, 150 speakers, and keynote speakers.
The Tax & Accounting Technology Innovation Awards honor new technologies that help accounting firms and their small business clients operate more efficiently and profitably through improved workflow, increased accessibility, or enhanced collaboration. Award winners are selected by CPA Practice Advisor’s editorial advisory board, which includes more than two dozen thought leaders in the profession.
“These awards recognize new technologies that dramatically enhance the ability of accounting professionals to provide services to their clients and run their own firms,” said CPA Practice Advisor Editor-in-Chief Gail Perry, CPA. “As the tax and accounting profession continues to evolve, these new technologies and workflows are a key element to firm productivity, efficiency, and their ability to increase profitability.” Perry also manages a tax practice and is the author of more than 30 books, including Mint.com for Dummies, and Idiot’s Guide to Introductory Accounting.
