Laser Systems and Choice Technologies Form Alliance to Offer Tax Accountants a CHOICE!

Laser Systems, Inc. publishers of the TaxWorks tax preparation software announces a joint development effort with Choice Technologies, Inc., publishers of the Peoples Choice line of small business accounting solutions. The result provides accountants a complete suite of integrated accounting and tax products for the efficient preparation of their clients tax returns.

The system is a customized version of Peoples Choice Accounting and TaxWorks, linking the two systems for fast and easy transfer of data from the accounting system into the tax software, eliminating manual data entry. All Write-Up work is completed in the accounting program and financial statements are produced after adjustments are made. This relationship gives our customers a powerful option for those who need to bridge their data from accounting to tax." States Lyle Petersen, Vice President of Laser Systems, Inc. It also provides a platform for both companies to compete more effectively in a market dominated by giants like Intuit", Peterson continues, we are planning on keeping our prices at levels affordable to the common practitioner, providing a viable alternative."

Phillip A. Erickson, CPA, a user of the new system adds the following; The advanced interface between Tax Works and People's Choice is offering me the tools to revolutionize my accounting practice and also offers small businesses access to my expansive experience, which I can assure you is much more valuable than my ability to complete a year-end tax return. This process allows me to do year-end tax returns for small businesses using People's Choice for a fraction of what I charged before using the system. This allows our firm to compete effectively with low-cost tax preparation and bookkeeping firms for tax and write-up work for small businesses, such as dry cleaners, shoe repair shops and florists to professional service firms such as realtors, law offices and medical practices. More importantly, we have been able to hire computer literate clerical staff to service these new clients at a fraction of the cost of accounting graduates."

Roger Leistad, President of Choice Technologies, Inc. offers the following; We are very excited about this alliance with Laser Systems. Both firms have a solid track record with developing professional solutions. Laser Systems, Inc. is celebrating its 30th year in business, while Peoples Choice Accounting has been has been in the market for over fifteen years.
