1. What are the main forces shaping the firm of the future?

The major force shaping the firm of the future is the Internet. Want proof? Every company that serves the accounting profession is rushing to get on to the SaaS or cloud computing bandwagon.

The Internet has become this important because it offers accountants many new powerful capabilities-the most important of which is the one that lets accountants work collaboratively with their clients, working as coach and project leader.

As a result of its remarkable capabilities, the Internet lets accountants overcome the challenges they face in their practices and makes their practices more productive and profitable.

2. What are you doing to help them prepare?

We saw the enormous potential of the Internet for reshaping accounting practices way back in 1999 - before any of our competitors. And over the past decade, we've created a complete suite of integrated Accountant-Centric solutions, called the Power Practice System(tm). The Power Practice System includes eight fully integrated cloud computing solutions that let accountants:
* Make their practices more efficient with streamlined processes;
* Perform client accounting faster and easier;
* Improve client relationships;
* Boost their profits; and,
* Work from anywhere, anytime.

We also offer accountants training on harnessing the power of the Internet for growing their practices.


While many software companies are hosting the same old Windows applications and labeling them as SaaS solutions, AccountantsWorld created a complete suite of eight true cloud computing solutions. We have a complete accounting system comprising bookkeeping, write-up, trial balance and financial reporting, as well as a website builder, document management system, client portal, practice management, after-the-fact payroll, personal financial planning, online marketing, and payroll systems.

To help every accounting firm-large or small-harness the full power of the Internet for managing and growing their practices, we offer the Power Practice System including all eight solutions for just $195 per month.
