Find out what digital technologies your peer firms are utilizing this upcoming busy season from CPAFMA Advisory Board Member Roman H. Kepczyk as he presents the findings of the 2017 Paperless Benchmark Survey just completed in December and sponsored by Canon ImageFORUMULA Document Scanners. Roman will not only discuss tax department findings that firms are using this year, but also cover audit and accounting, administration, and information technology benchmarks, as well as recommendations on trends and products he is predicting will impact the year ahead!
