Companies Partner to Help New Income Tax Preparer
Universal Accounting®, the nation’s largest training center for accounting, bookkeeping and tax preparation has partnered with RedGear Technologies®, a recognized industry leader in the development of tax related software, in a strategic alliance. The two companies have committed to create broader exposure of the compatibility and value of their complementary product lines.
“Many of our students are entering the self-employment market as freelance tax preparers – they’re looking for the tools that will best meet their needs,” said Allen Bostrom, a CPA and CEO of Universal Accounting Center. “RedGear offers excellent tax preparation tools in their 1040Works and ArkWorks products at an advantageous price to enable our graduates to enter the market professionally and prepared.”
