Firm Advisor Program from CPA.com and Vertex

Enhance and grow your trusted business advisor role for your clients.

Vertex Inc.

Since 2015, Vertex and CPA.com have been partners on the Firm Advisor Program, designed to help firms support their clients through access to sales & use tax compliance automation, practice development resources, dedicated account management, and special pricing.

  • Ever-changing legislation around sales and use tax and the heightened risk of audits for small and mid-sized businesses has created big opportunities for CPAs to expand the trusted advisor role.
  • With the Sales Tax Automation Program, you can simply refer clients to the program, providing them the tools required to effectively manage sales and use tax, or you can leverage the solution in-firm to add another lucrative revenue stream. Either way presents yet another opportunity to further your client-accountant relationship.

To help you be successful with the Firm Advisor Program, we encourage you to explore our customizable letters, educational resources, short videos, and more!
