It’s the beginning of the year and that means that 2022 tax information is starting to roll in.

It’s an ugly, inefficient, paper-based process.

It’s a time-suck.

And it’s a boon for CPAs.

None of this needs to happen.

When financial transactions happen on a ledger, enforced by smart contracts, assembling tax information is going to be a hell of a lot easier than it is today.

Every January, I am further reminded of why this transformation is necessary.
