"Through our partnership with Tri-Merit, CPAs using the WebCPA Client Connection platform can gain valuable reports, analytics and insight as to the potential financial impact of the R&D credit on their business clients."
"We are pleased to be involved with the WebCPA Client Connection initiative," said Randy Crabtree, CEO and Founder of Tri-Merit. "We believe the CPA is truly the trusted advisor for the small and mid-market business. WebCPA Client Connection is an ideal venue to help give the CPA a better understanding of the potential impact of these tax incentives. The platform’s ability to allow a CPA or accounting professional to easily and affordably monitor and analyze the key trends and financial performance of all clients in real-time, makes it easy to automatically power an R&D Tax Credit assessment report, essentially using the client’s own data to demonstrate the value of the credit."
