Course Description

The evolving internet presents a double-edged sword for CPA firms trying to create and maintain a strong brand. An oversaturated world of .com domains makes it difficult to find a simple, memorable domain but rising use and availability of new top-level domains (TLDs) has opened a new lane for progressive firms ready to stand out from the competition.

One of these new TLDs, the .cpa domain, is exclusive to licensed CPAs and CPA firms and presents a unique opportunity to mitigate firm risks and impart trust and security to clients while also offering multiple branding advantages. 

Join our discussion to learn the latest internet trends and challenges specific to the accounting industry and how to successfully set your brand apart. 

Learning Objectives: 


  • Recall the current internet landscape and its impact on CPA firms

  • Identify the emerging trends in internet domain usage, particularly the availability and advantages of new top-level domains (TLDs) for progressive CPA firms

  • Recall practical insights and strategies for successfully differentiating your CPA firm's brand in a competitive online environment

About Our Presenter

Cpacomlogo

CPA.com was formed by the American Institute of CPAs. AICPA leadership knew the unprecedented pace of technological change required firms to adapt quickly and overcome the challenges of the partnership model to meet that goal. It charged CPA.com management with creating a business model, value proposition and infrastructure to help firms identify emerging trends and technologies and provide education, training and resources that would accelerate adoption.

 

CPA.com serves as a catalyst in the development of virtual CFO/controller services by firms and is now shifting its focus to similar innovations in tax and audit practices, with an emphasis on automation, artificial intelligence and the adoption of blockchain technology.
