This month, we’re joined by Andy Roe, CRO with CPA Site Solutions, to discuss the transformative power of tax automation for small firms. He emphasizes how shifting away from manual data entry allows practitioners to focus on high-value advisory services, ultimately increasing firm capacity without adding headcount. Roe provides a roadmap for firms to navigate the "tax automation journey," highlighting that the most successful practitioners are those who embrace standardized workflows and modern technology to solve the perennial staffing and capacity challenges facing the profession.

"Automation isn't just about saving time; it’s about creating the capacity to be the advisor your clients actually want you to be." Andrew Roe | LinkedIn
