Lots of accountants I work with used to struggle to charge what they feel they’re worth for the work they do. Sadly I can’t just wave a magic wand to change things. Mostly what’s required is an increase in confidence and improved communication. Easy to say, but not so easy to put into practice. One accountant I mentored told me that he was quite happy with his basic fee quotes.

By now most businesses that sell online have heard about nexus, the connection that a company has with a jurisdiction that ignites a sales tax obligation.

Is Software as a Service (SaaS) taxable? The short answer to this common question: Maybe. Each state treats taxation of SaaS slightly differently, although many states do consider it taxable. Even if a state doesn’t require sales tax on SaaS, the company may still need to file if they pass a certain threshold of sales. SaaS really encompasses three types of services: SaaS; Infrastructure as a Service (IAAS) and Platform as a Service (PAAS).

"Offer payroll and do it yourself,” they said. “It’ll be fun!” Spoiler alert: It was not fun. Most CPA firms know that they need to offer payroll services to their clients or risk losing them to another firm that will. However, many don’t really want to. It is often time-consuming and complex due to changing tax laws and regulations, and with the growing staffing shortages, most just don’t have the resources.
