PORTLAND, Ore., Sept. 5, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Out of The Box Technology announced today the acquisition of Powerful Accounting, making the technology firm one of the largest QuickBooks™ solution providers, a complete business resource with the addition of tax preparation and compliance services. This announcement comes just a few months after Out Of The Box Technology and ebs Associates merged in April. The recent M&As are part of a long-term corporate strategy to create an organization with unparalleled start-to-finish business services including: technology support, consulting services, recurring bookkeeping, project services, data conversions, and now tax preparation, tax resolution and fraud prevention solutions.
Powerful Accounting, led by industry thought leader and influencer Dawn Brolin, enhances the expertise of Out of The Box Technology with CPA and CFE certifications. Dawn's extensive experience in public speaking and consulting with organizations such as Intuit, MSNBC, Scaling New Heights, and AbacusNext will help elevate Out of The Box Technology to new levels.

Brolin who will be an active Partner and the Executive Vice-President of Business Development and Compliance at Out of The Box Technology commented on the news, "It is exciting to work alongside the leadership team at Out of The Box Technology, and have the opportunity to transform service delivery together! I have pushed hard to be a powerful resource to clients since 2011; scalability is limited for solo practitioners and with the ever-changing demands of business clients in a digital world, this expansion is exactly what the dynamic organizations whom we work with need."
