We’re kicking off accounting’s favorite time of the year: tax season (cue the memes). Accountants aren’t the only busy people. The financial data surrounding returns makes the industry a prime target for cyber criminals.

As of August 24, 2022, there were 665,612 actively licensed CPAs in the United States. It’s a safe assumption to say that not one of them would describe the busy season - roughly January through May - as easy by any stretch of the imagination. Add in a little economic insecurity and a continuing pandemic, and you get a tax season we'd all prefer to file away.
