Jim McGinnis, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Medium and
Large Firm Segment at Wolters Kluwer Tax & Accounting North America,
together with Bas Kniphorst, Vice President of Research & Learning
Product Management at Wolters Kluwer Tax & Accounting North America,
will host a presentation entitled “Endgame: Preparing Your Firm for
Imminent Change” on Wednesday, June 12 during the 2019
AICPA Engage Conference
taking place in Las Vegas, Nevada on June 9
– 13.

In their session, Wolters Kluwer experts will discuss the fast pace
of technology change
seen across the tax & accounting profession,
look at the implications facing firms that ignore this change and
explore new innovative technologies on the horizon. The session will
help participants identify software research solutions available today
enabling firms to adapt to the changing landscape and turn challenges
into opportunities that will help grow, manage and protect their
business and their clients’ businesses.

“The accounting profession is at an inflection point with technology
changing workflow and business models. These are exciting times, and
accountants have many reasons to feel optimistic,” said McGinnis. “Firms
on the leading edge of the technology transformation that have
incorporated integrated solutions to enhance client collaboration, tax
compliance and research workflows,and firm management are already
reaping the benefits. They are harnessing the data in their systems and
leveraging critical legislative changes to automatically identify growth
opportunities and proactively suggest new, value-add services to
clients.”

Tax and accounting firms want to leverage technology but are looking for
practical guidance to help them separate hype from reality. While new
technologies open up exciting possibilities, it is often challenging to
translate the potential into pragmatic solutions. These are solutions
that will include

  • End-to-end, automated cloud-based tax preparation
  • AI-enhanced, highly intuitive tax research
  • A cloud-driven, Integrated Audit Approach that focuses on audit quality
  • Analytical practice management that helps leaders visualize data and
    gain insights
  • Artificial Intelligence to sort and identify clients for further
    communication and added services opportunities

“Firms today need the right technology partner. One that continues to
invest in development and innovation to infuse technologies like
artificial intelligence, machine learning or predictive intelligence
into the daily workflows in ways that are most meaningful to the
accounting professionals and their clients,” Kniphorst added. “Expert
solutions from Wolters Kluwer like CCH
Axcess™ iQ
combine technology innovation with deep domain expertise
to help firms and professionals deliver impact when it matters most.”
