At Founder’s CPA we know how important it is to have the right people executing the right processes on the right platforms. We take pride in our competitive advantage through our platforms, processes and people. In this article, we are going to dig into some of our major platforms to help create a better user experience for our clients.
Historically we all know how accounting isn’t the most under friendly space, in fact it can be very much a frustrating experience. At Founder’s CPA, we want to improve your perception by using different platforms and software to make it easier and better client experience. We pride in using efficient and user-friendly platforms to promote transparency between our work and our clients. By streamlining our processes, we can provide a fast turn-around, increase accuracy and minimize manual errors.
What we appreciate the most about our platforms is that client data is readily available for our needs and work, therefore allowing us to have a less of waiting period to perform services rather than requesting information from our clients.
