“Old school ways are being supplanted by fresh ideas. Technology is giving us the tools to explore new methods of connecting with clients, provide traditional services, and offer a new style of service that is much more intense and robust than ever before……. accountants need to wrap themselves around innovation, break out from the mold of traditional accounting services, and find fresh ways to serve their clients.” by Gail Perry
