We are just under a month away from Insightful Accountant's next "Future Forward" online conference—and guess who will be participating big time this time?
Did you guess yours truly?
I wanted to bring you up to speed about why you should register for the conference, which promises to bring you some of the latest and greatest news in our industry.
Opening day is Nov. 30, which begins with a kick-off session at 10:30 a.m. (EST) called, "On the Horizon: Trends for 2023." This will feature my good buddy and Insightful Accountant publisher Gary Dehart, who will host a group of thought leaders on a variety of issues to help optimize your operations and revenues for 2023.
The seminar includes some of the latest technological trends impacting accounting, bookkeeping and tax, especially as they relate to maximizing your efficiency. It also will provide some key updates and what's on the horizon concerning QuickBooks and Xero.
As part of proactively preparing you with practical strategies for 2023, you will get some of the latest IRS compliance and tax news, as well as ways to help you and your clients reduce their potential impact.
Then, at noon (EST), the conference turns its attention toward the one of the newest client accounting service niches focused on the cryptocurrency revenue stream. There are tons of potential clients needing client accounting services related to cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, virtual currency mining, and all of the related areas.
Sonia Dumas, a recognized expert in cryptocurrency training for accounting and tax professionals, will provide conference session participants with an actionable plan they can realistically implement to bolster their client accounting practices or tax practices during the 2023 season.
If you want to be prepared to handle clients and grow your client base now and in the future with cryptocurrency advisory services, this is the session for you.
Next, we come to "Murph Live." I know you have been waiting for my return to the conference format, even if it is virtual. At 1:30 p.m. (EST), I co-host a session—along with my long-time QB Talks QBO presenter, Liz Scott—"What's New for QuickBooks 2023."
Please note that I said, "for" not "in."
This will not rehash an earlier webinar Insightful Accountant presented on "What's New in Desktop 2023." Rather, Liz and I will discuss only the newest, most important features in both QuickBooks Desktop and Online.
This also will include our favorites, and how they can best be leveraged for your accounting and bookkeeping practices. Next, we will discuss how those that best fit the needs of your clients, especially ones with critical needs like ecommerce, retail, inventory and multi-company.
Then, at 3 p.m. (EST), the closing session will be geared toward generating year-round tax advisory revenue with niche services. Paul Hamman will tell you how you can make tax season 2023 the turning point for your firm. He also will discuss how to eliminate the need to depend solely on transactional, revenue-limiting tax compliance and preparation work.
In addition, Paul will cover ways to leverage new solutions and tax niches, and use tax preparation and planning to maximize your role and revenues as a valued tax advisor—really a Value Added Tax Advisor.
All of this is just a start of "Future Forward"—because it is only Day 1. Dec. 1 has much more to offer with presentations by Greg Bossen, Kelly G. and Diane Gilson, along with another very special session by yours truly, which is aimed at helping you prepare for Insightful Accountant's 2023 Top 100.
Look for my detailed article about Day 2 in the very near future.
