Every business, big or small, needs a website. Your website tells people how to find you, advertises your products and services, and stakes your claim in your marketplace. Your website is also an essential part of your marketing plans, by allowing you to identify your company's brand: what are you focusing on, who is your target market, and what are you best equipped to do for them?

As we are knee deep in our busiest time of the year, we are very conscious of how we spend our time. So, when working on the engagement software review, I wanted to look at the software from a workflow standpoint and not just a way to automate an audit. All the programs in the review not only do the typical trial balance and audit software but also work on the byproduct of the process - the tax return. In the past small firms that don't do audit work but do a lot of tax and tax resolution work would not have consider an engagement product.
