The automation opportunity in tax practices

With the ability to automate every aspect of the tax process, accounting firms should be taking a holistic approach to automation. As firms start to automate, they are learning where the inefficiencies are and which are costing them the most time and money. Dan Hood, Editor in Chief of Accounting Today, sat down with Allen Stahl, Strategic Technology Manager at Thomson Reuters, to talk about the power of automation in accounting and how Thomson Reuters is helping firms automate virtually any phase of their tax workflow.
