Join us for a chill, unscripted "chikahan" (chat session) with the Borderless Accountant community! In this casual Friday talk, we take a break from our usual lessons to discuss our experiences and struggles with the recent US tax return exercises. We also dive deep into a practical discussion on tax preparation software, comparing community experiences with Drake, ProConnect, TaxSlayer, and more. Plus, get exciting news about our upcoming ventures, including the launch of a comprehensive bookkeeping course and our vision for the new "Borderless Cafe" and mini-library in Mabini, Bohol, aimed at training the next generation of accountants.
