Why online CPAs in Kentucky work

Getting your taxes done with a certified public accountant (CPA) means physically traveling to a CPA's office for a face-to-face meeting. As the client, you had to bring all of the necessary paperwork the CPA would need to prepare your taxes, including receipts, bank statements, spreadsheets and all the random stuff you never think of until the last minute. Only after some hours (if you were lucky) going through all your information together and paying the substantial bill for her services would she file your taxes with the IRS. At least, that's how it used to work. Today, you can have essentially the same meeting with a CPA the same way you can do your banking, play a board game or order dinner: online. What you might not know is that it's no longer the case that you have to gather all your paperwork, because like so many things in life these days, there's an app for that – in this case, a very powerful app that uses A.I. to track your business expenses and your tax deductions automatically. FlyFin is always running in the background and prompting you to mark write-offs, so you don't miss a single opportunity for tax savings. At the end of the year, you've got digital records of everything you need to file your taxes in a fraction of the time it used to take and with savings maximized by A.I. and online CPAs. FlyFin's experts are available 24/7 with tax guidance and advice you would normally need to make a potentially expensive appointment with an Alabama CPA to get. They bring to the tax table more than 100 combined years of deep knowledge about the tax system in Alabama, as well as experience with taxes for self-employed individuals, from nurses, consultants, delivery drivers and designers to business structures like LLCs, S-Corporations, sole proprietorships, and partnerships.
