Free One Hour CPE Credit Webinar Now Available for CPAs

July 11, 2008 - PRLog -- Paradigm Partners, a national tax consulting firm, offers a free, one hour webinar on one of the most exciting and misunderstood areas of the tax code – the Research & Development (R&D) Tax Credit.

Karim Solanji, J.D. of Paradigm Partners, says “most CPAs believe that their clients do not qualify to take this credit but because of recent changes in the tax code, many more companies can and do qualify”.

Our experienced staff guides you through the webinar to:

• Discover that you may have more clients that qualify than you initially may have anticipated;
• Discover a potentially substantial new revenue source;
• Discover an exciting new marketing tool and service to offer new and prospective clients;
• Discover ways to uncover previously unrealized cash/credit benefits that can be used to encourage your companies and clients business expansion;
