Tax Season Report

Canadian Accounting Industry Challenges

Based on research conducted in 2022 that assessed accounting practitioners’ experiences during the 2021 personal tax season.

The 2021 personal tax season saw the resumption of many pre-pandemic activities, including return-to-office for staff and once again meeting clients in person. Some accounting firms struggled to adapt internal processes to technology that was quickly adopted to helped deal with remote work during the pandemic, and to adjust to changing demands of staff and clients.

Some high-level findings showed that:

1. Many firms are finding it easier to facilitate a remote-work model. 
2. A further reduction in manual data entry has occurred due to the introduction of new technologies. 
3. Invoicing has become more efficient. 
4. Many firms still outsource complex tax issues. 
5. There is still opportunity for firms to benefit from automatic payment and digital signature technologies.
