This blog post is also available in a recent ACT Newsletter…but, I thought I’d share here in case our readers don’t all subscribe to the ACT Newsletter.

I wasn’t able to attend the recent Thomson Reuters ONESOURCE Global User Conference at the Fontainebleau in Miami. However I did get to see some hilarious (or completely sad, but true) things our kids might be saying about an illustrious career in tax in a video they rolled out during their opening session. If you missed it, check it out here.

So, SWOT for tax could be something you want to try out!

Is Twitter for the Corporate Tax Pro?

Posted by Traci Wheeler on Nov 18, 2010 in Marketing, Motivation, November | 0 comments

Recently, someone told me that a corporate tax software vendor said they aren’t active on Twitter because “their people” aren’t on Twitter.
