Valuable Service Platforms for Tax Professionals
In recognizing a major shift by traditional firms to tax services as a primary source of revenue, the MRTP offers unique tools for building a competitive tax practice:
INFORMATION SERVICES. Members receive the Info Connector News, our weekly e-newsletter filled with breaking news impacting the profession, federal and state tax updates affecting the management of client issues, and practice builder tips and checklists that help members better manage their practice, employees, technology, and more. Most important, the e-letter provides valuable tips and templates for soliciting and retaining clients in this competitive industry.
The easy-to-read format saves hours of research and reading time, and it is instantly archived for easy access after publication.
QUALITY CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION. The IAAM has always demanded that its continuing professional education programs offer immense value to members. As an IRS-endorsed CPE sponsor since
1967, the Association offers a combination of live and webinar-based programs. In partnership with GEAR UP Seminars, we offer the nation’s best federal 1040 tax seminar offering 18 CPEs in federal taxation, 2 CPEs in Michigan taxes, 2 CPEs in professional education . . . all for the price of 16! We also offer multiple registration discounts for members who bring employees, making these programs valuable AND affordable!
Beginning this year, IAAM will offer one-day RTRP 1040 Seminars in five locations across the state. Targeted at the beginner-to-intermediate level, the unique format allows participants to earn 10 CPEs in federal 1040 education on-site, with the opportunity to earn 2 CPEs in ethics and 3 CPEs in federal 1040 tax updates by attending IAAM webinars later in December. That’s right . . . this program satisfies the IRS-required 15 CPEs for RTRPs and non-credentialed PTIN holders . . . at the price of 8 CPEs charged by the majority of CPE sponsors! who must earn a credential by December 31, 2013.
A COMMITMENT TO CREDENTIALING. With new IRS regulations requiring non-credentialed preparers to earn either the Enrolled Agent or Registered Tax Return Preparer designation by December 31, 2013, the IAAM has stepped forward by offering EA and RTRP Exam Coaching Courses that help candidates fully prepare to pass these exams. Using the industry’s leading preparation guides from FastForward Academy, members can choose to participate in a live classroom setting or via webinar feeds. In 2011, better than 90 percent of IAAM participants passed the EA exam on the first try, and the goal is to match or exceed that performance for RTRP exam candidates in 2012!
SERVICE EXPANSION PLATFORMS. Beginning in May, 2012, IAAM will offer members opportunities to expand services in financial advisory services, consulting, and tax representation. In addition, specific templates for soliciting new clients from within and outside will be available. The potential for growth may never be better as IRS regulations accelerate retirements from the profession, and the IAAM will be sure every member has the tools to seize the opportunity to grow and prosper during these exciting times!
