Getting your CPE credits is a great opportunity to do more than just fulfill your legally mandated continuing education requirements. CPE courses are your chance to learn about trends and subjects that can have a significant impact on your business. We’ve put together a list of four trending topics you should be taking for CPE credit.
Keeping clients’ data secure is one of a tax and accounting professional’s most important duties. Large incidents of data theft (such as those that occurred at Equifax and Yahoo) are reminders of just how important it is to keep client data secure. They’re also a reminder that doing so is difficult and no business is immune.
But difficult doesn’t mean impossible. There are steps that you can take to make your data more secure. Taking CPE courses on data security will help ensure that you’re armed with the most recent tactics and strategies to help keep client data safe.
Bitcoin. Ethereum. Litecoin. There are hundreds of different kinds of cryptocurrencies out there. These blockchain enabled currencies are one of the biggest up-and-coming trends in the finance world. You’ll be dealing with these cryptocurrencies regularly in the near future (if you don’t already). How well do you understand how they work? When evaluating which CPE credits and disciplines are most valuable to your practice, you should definitely consider adding a course on cryptocurrency or blockchain technology so you’re ready when the time comes.
Excel is one of the most powerful and versatile tools available to accounting and tax professionals. In fact, Excel is so versatile that there’s nearly always some new function or shortcut you could be using to make your work faster, more efficient, more convenient. An Excel focused class will provide one of the most useful CPE credits you will ever earn.
It doesn’t matter how good you are at the tax and accounting part of your job if you can’t get enough clients through the door. Marketing is a key (perhaps the key) component of running a successful practice.
Staying on top of trends is particularly important in marketing. Because consumer behaviors and preferences are constantly changing, the decade-old marketing strategies may no longer be effective at driving business. This is one subject where you can never be too well informed.

Canopy takes the headaches out of client management by offering a way to keep client info organized.
I love how easy it is to setup a new client in this software. Once set up, it's one click to get IRS transcripts downloaded for my review. This saves me at least an hour each week in comparison to the software I used to use.
This makes workflow for tax resolution manageable. This business is a bunch of hurry up and wait. This system helps to refresh my memory while transitioning to different clients.
The ability to securely share documents with clients as well as complete POAs from client contact data already in Canopy. The ability to route workflow between team members with color coded statuses allows us to work efficiently.
Cool features, outstanding customer service, constantly updating to make it better. I love that I can upload files easily to a secure client portal and we don't have to email files anymore. Absolutely can't imagine not having this software.
It's safe and secure. Clients are able to upload documents and the documents are saved their portal which as a result, keeps us better organized. The task feature keeps us organized and we know exactly the status of each client.
