Many tax and accounting firms struggle to transition to a paperless office – or find that it takes more time than it should. This webinar will explain and demonstrate how firms make the paperless transition successfully. Tic Tie Calculate is the leading Acrobat plug-in designed specifically for the tax and accounting industry and is used by over 15,000 accountants. We will discuss how to scan client source documents into PDF format and use Adobe Acrobat, and Tic Tie Calculate to easily prepare paperless tax and accounting work papers, the same way you did in the paper world. We will also discuss using automated Scan-and-Organize or Scan-and-Populate Solutions and how much time they save your firm. We will address Acrobat alternatives and other proprietary paperless workpaper preparation tools to ensure participants understand their options and make the best decisions.
