Lots of accountants I work with used to struggle to charge what they feel they’re worth for the work they do. Sadly I can’t just wave a magic wand to change things. Mostly what’s required is an increase in confidence and improved communication. Easy to say, but not so easy to put into practice. One accountant I mentored told me that he was quite happy with his basic fee quotes.

Is Software as a Service (SaaS) taxable? The short answer to this common question: Maybe. Each state treats taxation of SaaS slightly differently, although many states do consider it taxable. Even if a state doesn’t require sales tax on SaaS, the company may still need to file if they pass a certain threshold of sales. SaaS really encompasses three types of services: SaaS; Infrastructure as a Service (IAAS) and Platform as a Service (PAAS).
