Ten Reasons The Virtual Tax Workforce Is Growing Rapidly

Kat Jennings TaxConnections CEO - Virtual Office

Tax organizations have actually been hiring remote for decades; however, the practice is now growing rapidly. Throughout the 80s and 90s multinational corporations set up country tax managers who would report informational back to the headquarters tax team. Although these remote tax professionals once felt removed from headquarters, they now connect in real-time to team members globally through technology.

Technologies like a virtual office, a virtual phone and a virtual mailbox are having a positive impact on the production of many professionals today. As a result,  tax organizations are increasingly growing their tax practices and reducing overhead business costs utilizing low cost new technologies.

1. Greater Number Of Companies Hire Virtual Tax Professionals 

A survey of more than 1,000 companies found that the lack of trained professionals is driving the trend towards virtual workers. Firms who were unable to access tax experts locally are opening their minds and operations to virtual tax talent.

2. Increase In Tax Professionals Preference to Work Virtually

With baby boomers retiring at a record pace and a legion of millenials who want flexibility, the desire for remote work has risen. The advances in technology over the past few years has culminated in the creation of virtual offices, virtual phones and a virtual mailbox to meet their professional needs.

3. Virtual Tax Offices Reduce Real Estate And Overhead Costs

Firms save valuable dollars expanding their workforce without the cost of expanding the costs associated with more office space and expensive, long term property leases.

4. Virtual Phones Enable Seamless Interactions Among Employees

A virtual phone now enables you to video conference, chat, send encrypted files, provide secure back up, web fax, transfer calls from your cell to your office and make video presentation all for less than thirty dollars a month.

5. Access Experienced, Technically Qualified Virtual Tax Pros

Given the high demand for tax expertise, firms are no longer challenged by geography to find this talent. A virtual tax workforce is a click away simply by contacting www.taxconnections.com.

6. Increase Productivity With Virtual Tax Pros Working From Home

You increase production with a workforce with fewer disturbances in their lives; no excuses like broken down cars; or parents who must stay home to care for kids or elderly parents. Nor do you lose production due to the office long-talker who hangs around to talk to the next person they can find to listen to the chatter. How about placing a person with a great work ethic but a difficult personality in a remote location? The possibilities are enlightening….

7. Virtual Tax Pros Spend More Time Working, Less Time In Traffic

With traffic a major time waster on the road, virtual workers are able to accomplish a lot more at their desk than stuck in traffic. Notwithstanding, less traffic is better for the environment.

8. Tax Professionals Enrolled In Tax Programs Prefer Remote

There is an untapped pool of talent at the 5-8 year range who desire flexibility with their work schedules to enroll in graduate school. Students enrolled in tax graduate programs would prefer to work virtually if the opportunity exists for them.

9. Companies Adapting To Tax Virtual Workforce Improve Business

Companies are adapting and growing through a tax workforce of semi-retired baby boomers who want to remain engaged professionally; graduate students who desire more flexible work schedules; or professionals who desire to work remotely to care for family members.

10. Training And Guidance On How To Set Up A Remote Workforce
