Tech Savvy Accounting Firms May Thrive After Pandemic

Some accounting firms that delayed or deprioritized adopting new technology are now finding that their slow-and-steady strategy is no longer an option. The remote work necessitated by the coronavirus pandemic is forcing these firms to go digital—and fast.
On today's episode of Talking Tax, host Amanda Iacone talks with Garrett Wagner, a CPA who also runs a consulting firm that helps accountants upgrade their tech. He says the firms that are behind in their remote work capabilities may need to partner with—or, in some cases, be outright taken over by—other firms that are stronger in this area.
