This session is dedicated to the possibility that innovation goes beyond just technological developments. Technology is important, but it is only a small part of innovation. For innovation to be more fully complete we must look at other areas including the internal processes of the organization and most importantly the very language we use. Innovating like this is hard work and not for everyone because it requires deeper thinking than is most often thought.
If you believe you can attain this level of thinking, you are invited to attend this session facilitated by Ed Kless, Sage senior director of partner development and strategy.
The course will also include a 30 min demo of Sage Payroll. During this high level overview, attendees will view the ease of submitting payroll, whether directly by CPA or by client, viewing the online FrontRow reports package and receiving mobile notification reminders of cash requirements, direct deposits and when to run payroll. A description of the opportunities available to CPAs with Sage Payroll will also be described.
