Growing tax accounting offices will find this to be the right course to train new employees as knowledgeable tax preparers or front desk staff. Graduates are thoroughly trained on the latest personal income tax changes using professional tax software in a case study approach.

The case studies included in this course include the preparation of corporate tax returns for the current year. This course contains all known changes that will apply to future years.

Basic Bookkeeping in a Digital World

This introductory course is ideal for professionals in the bookkeeping tax and financial services who wish to train their own administrative staff to prepare company books, or train staff to prepare books for others. It is an excellent course for bookkeepers who may know how to operate the software, but have not taken a theoretical accounting course.

Succession Planning for Owner-Managers

This course will help advisors become valuable resources to their clients in the succession planning process. Key concepts include understanding the importance of succession planning for the business and key positions within the business. It focuses on roles and financial issues, from both the perspectives of a business leader and successor. It also addresses the impact of succession on employees and the business as a whole, and succession of the business to third parties.

Understanding Business Valuation

The objective of this course is to provide an overview of the fundamentals of business valuation, enabling advisors to understand the key concepts in this important area and assist clients in facing various types of business transactions, including mergers, transfer of an ownership position, sale of a business, or raising capital.

Use of Trusts in Tax and Estate Planning

The advisor with the ability to assist with that process creates the opportunity to establish a long-term, potentially intergenerational connection with a client and their family; provided their strategy considers recent tax changes in the planning process.
