AICPA Announces Online Launch and New Authors of Accountant's Business Manual

The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) announces the launch of ABMonline, the Web version of the Accountant’s Business Manual (ABM), and new authors, Sidney Kess, Esq., CPA, JD., LLM., and Barbara Weltman, JD. The new resource will provide CPAs with quick reference and easy search options for 26 topics covering business, legal, tax and finance. ABMonline is available through www.cpa2biz.com.

For years CPAs have relied on ABM in print as a one-stop reference tool. Now this “must-have” source delivers even more value with an enhanced online format. ABMonline includes hyperlinked text with search capabilities from every page. The expandable table of contents, and hundreds of downloadable tools and materials are available to users with the click of a mouse. This business tool uses understandable language for background, solutions and recent developments serving a variety of practice areas.

Nationally renowned tax expert and author of hundreds of tax books on financial and estate planning, Kess is a notable addition to ABM. He has written several AICPA tax workshops, audio and video programs and is chairman of the advisory board of Tax Hotline and member of the PPC Tax Action Panel. Kess is the recipient of the AICPA’s Distinguished Lecturer Award and Special Recognition Award. Along with Kess, Barbara Weltman is a top-selling business author who lends her expertise of tax and small business to ABM. Weltman is a member of the Small Business Advocate Brain Trust; serves as the Small Business Tax Expert for Staples.com; and serves on the advisory boards for Small Business & Entrepreneurship (SBE) Council, WE-Inc., and Boardroom’s Bottom Line/Personal, Tax Hotline and Bottom Line Retirement.

“This valuable reference tool contains essential information for CPAs who advise business clients.” says Kess. “In its new online format, ABM is an extremely useful resource for practitioners. The relevant information and search capabilities provide easy-to-find answers and solutions.”
