He will also incorporate key future indicators and disrupters that all firms should be aware of to plan for next year and beyond, all backed by the CPAFMA IT Survey findings.

Want to learn how taking a “Lean” approach can significantly improve your firm’s production processes?  Lean Six Sigma Black Belt Roman Kepczyk has partnered with more than 425 CPA firms to optimize their internal production processes and take advantage of technology solutions that are transforming today’s practices. 

Roman will build on the recommendations made from the tax season debrief and highlight specific examples within the various production departments where “Lean” principals can be successfully applied. Roman will also integrate the latest CPAFMA IT and Digitally Driven Firm Survey results so you can identify if your firm is on the “bleeding, “stable” or “lagging” edge.

Roman will walk through a checklist of the necessary components to protect your firm including the latest IRS “legal” requirements. He will also apprise attendees on the latest threats and share security resources to minimize the firm’s exposure and educate firm personnel.
