The art of the possible & how tax technology can help me

We are all being asked to do more with less. Tax automation and innovation can help make our lives easier now and, in the future, but where do you start? "You don’t know what you don't know". That statement applies more to tax technology than almost any area of our day jobs within tax, and tax technology is now firmly part of those day jobs.

BDO's tax automation and innovation webinar series has been designed to arm tax leaders with the information they need to create an agile tax department. Our regular series of short webinars, will spend 30 minutes looking at new vendors, new solutions, new ideas which could help transform processes and departments.

Our series will be hosted by Ian Bowden, a 25-year veteran in the tax technology arena, these short discussion webcasts will pick a different topic each month and help you understand the art of the possible. Each month we will be joined by special guests to explore technology applications across the entire tax department. Our team will also be able to offer real life insight and best practices for implementing tax automation.
