Most firms have their onsite employees working from home which exposes their firm’s data to
higher risk since they cannot monitor the internet traffic of their employees’ individual homes.

2. Better Compliance, Training & Development

FFCRA, CARES, Consolidated Appropriations Act, PPP, Stimulus Checks, EIDL, the list just goes on for the amount of legislative changes that have taken place in 2020. This has put an immense burden on the Accounting Professionals to train their staff and educate them about the changes and how that impacts tax returns being prepared in 2021.

The robust training and development team at Relig brought industry experts and conducted in-house training sessions for its employees. Traditional outsourcing firms focus on data entry but never on compliance whereas Relig brings Accountability and Responsibility to the work delivered.

3. Ease of growing business

900K people are unemployed as of the end of 2020 that includes at least 900k returns since
unemployment benefits are taxable income. This is over and above millions of businesses and
individuals who have earned income in 2020. As much as Accounting and Tax Firms want to grow their client base, there is an added cost of software, payroll, healthcare and leave benefits cost. Businesses are also limited in terms of the total hours they can work in a day.
