Accountants are more than compliance experts, they’re advisors, communicators, and strategic partners.
This session explores what it truly means to be a proactive accountant and how leveraging automation, client communication tools, and real-time ATO data can create smarter workflows and stronger client relationships.
Stan and fellow panellists will share practical ways to move from being a reactive practice to proactive, from streamlining ATO document management to using dashboards that bring key data into focus at a glance.
