Tomorrow's news

You'll be seeing a few changes on Accounting Tomorrow in the coming months. We'll still have our own URL, www.accountingtomorrow.com, but we'll be amping up our blog to engage and promote reader discussion. We'll also be unveiling a new logo that will mesh better with Accounting Today's brand.
