Press Releases New Products and Conferences CPA2Biz, a leading provider of products and services to accounting firms, today launched ClientSolutions.cpa2biz.com, a new dedicated Web site with information and resources for firms looking to transform their client accounting services practice into a strategic and high-margin area, primarily through web- or cloud-based solutions.
“The Trusted Business Advisor Solutions site combines web-based education, tools and resources to better position accountants to collaborate with their clients;offer higher-margin consultative services, like outsourced CFO and controllership services; and gain new efficiencies in traditionally lower-value, more labor-intensive areas like accounts payables” said Michael Cerami, CPA2Biz vice president of corporate alliances.
The site, available exclusively to accounting firms, collates information about best-in-class Web-based solutions available through the CPA2Biz Trusted Business Advisor platform:
Practitioners visiting the site may register for free weekly Web seminars and live, eight-hour Trusted Business Advisor Workshops with state CPA societies. They may also retrieve white papers on how to position, package and price accounting and cloud-based services. The site features several firm case studies in video and print formats, an interactive blog and other social media features.
In addition to the Web site, CPA2Biz has launched a new Web-based platform, available selectively to firms using the suite of cloud applications available through the Trusted Business Advisor Solutions program. The platform serves as a central launching pad to the partner programs and offers an online information exchange capability where accounting staff can share white papers and educational materials within the firm, as well as a marketing resource library with a variety of customized client sales tools to grow the firm’s client accounting services practice. CPA2Biz brands the platform with the accounting firm’s unique look and feel.
“Cloud computing technology, which one estimate predicts will evolve into a $150 billion market over the next four years, can dramatically improve how accounting firms deliver services to their clients and provide more valuable business advice,” Cerami said. Cloud computing refers to the ways in which technology companies offer computing services via the Web from remote data centers.
