apparently, it’s the constant evolution of tax laws and loopholes that keeps tax prep professionals busy all year. diane merk, at one of clark schaefer hackett’s offices in ohio and kentucky, says, “i only do tax work and structure my cpe to that area,” and she adds that this year she’ll be needing to focus on “ohio’s potential new changes in the taxable of pass-through entities.”

survey results: tax software satisfaction ratings

four software companies control more than 90 percent of the tax prep business. but which one has the biggest fans?

by 卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间 research

for a more in-depth report, we recommend the tax software report: comparative intelligence for data-driven decision-making.

with only four companies already controlling 90 percent of the professional tax preparation software market, the competition is intense. to be sure, some 9 in 10 accountants can be counted on to renew year after year, giving vendors barely single-digit year-over-year percentage increases in organic revenue growth.

but with the advent of the cloud, evolving client needs, workflow innovations, and an uncertain outlook for a major tax code overhaul, this year could present a singular set of choices for tax professionals – and fresh opportunities for vendors.

four companies dominate the cpa tax software market:

thomson, with ultratax and gosystem;
cch, with prosystem, axcess tax, and atx;
intuit, with lacerte, proseries and turbotax; and
drake

world envies low u.s. tax rates on luxury real estate transfers

another reason global capital is finding a haven in u.s. assets.

by 卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间 research

the u.s. is the envy of the world in the low tax rate applied to real estate transactions, according to a new study by uhy, the global network of accounting firms.
“the united states has one of the lowest tax rates in our study,” says dennis petri of uhy advisors. “the low level of tax enables homeowners to move more freely from city to city and now, the u.s. is seen as having enviable labor market mobility.”

the study shows taxes on “prime” real estate transfers average 0.6 percent in the u.s., or $6,000, far lower than the global average of 3.3 percent ($33,038) for properties worth $1 million, according to the study.

in ‘accountaneur,’ 卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间 author explores what makes an entrepreneurial accountant

卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间 is pleased to announce the publication of accountaneur: the entrepreneurial accountant, the new handbook for accountants on seizing the future, by hitendra r. patil.

now available at: //www.g005e.com/shop/accountaneur/

gleaning lessons from neuroscience, technology, and behavioral economics, hitendra r. patil shows tax and accounting professionals what it takes to succeed in today’s dynamic competitive environment.

every accountant may possess comparable technical skills. but patil shows that success in today’s profession is driven by disruptive ideas in innovation, client service, and talent management. in more than 50 bite-size chapters drawn from the pages of www.g005e.com, the author takes practitioners step-by-step through the process of understanding today’s powerful trends, harnessing those forces, and forging new strategies to grow and profit today and into the future.

he goes to the soul of an entrepreneurial accountant, explaining, “the difference between an accountaneur^® and an accountant lies in his or her traits, strengths, talents, skills, values and beliefs.”

“are you an accountaneur^®? if you work for yourself or if you have created jobs for others in the tax and accounting profession, you are an entrepreneur, rather an accountaneur^®. you are an accountaneur^® if you chose not take up a job, but chose instead to create a business.” in short, accountaneur is a mind-expanding exploration of the boundless opportunities that lie ahead for the tax and accounting professional who is ready, willing, and able to imagine them. patil proves to be an excellent guide to the new world.
