We recently had the pleasure of writing an article on finding the right software solutions for accounting firms. However, we got a little overzealous, and it turned into a two-part mega guide on the topic.
This summary is part 2 of the guide (if you have read to read part one, you can do so here).
In the second article, we cover an additional four steps to take to find the perfect software solution for your firm.

These are all things to consider because your team will need to learn how to use the software.
