Ten Tax Update Webinars
One of the ongoing challenges accounting professionals face, is maintaining their knowledge of tax, regulatory issues and legislative changes.
Because of this Polson Higgs provides a series of premium Tax Update Webinars from February – November each year. This enables accounting professionals to keep you up to date with current changes and compliance issues. These monthly webinars are perfect for Partners and/or senior staff.
Eight Tech Savvy Webinars.
These target common training areas with practical knowledge and examples that are directly transferable to the workplace. Our presenters know time is precious, so we keep the webinars focused and cost effective. Tech Savvy’s are ideal for junior and intermediate staff, or for those collective training sessions. That’s not to say that senior staff can’t attend, as they are great as a refresher!
Two Special Edition Webinars (of your choice) from our 26/27 range
As professionals you need clear and concise information on the important developments that impact your clients and your own businesses. Our Special Edition Webinars are designed to provide a “deep dive” from experts on those developments, ensuring you receive the information you need. They enable you to grow your advisory knowledge and provide your clients with current and relevant business advice.
