About this courseThis course is intended for CPAs who are required to explain technical concepts through written forms of communication.
During the course, we will create a checklist for drafting professional emails and documents.
The overarching goal of this course is to help you visualize your own communications from the perspective of your readers. Whether your readers are your clients or your co-workers, they will rarely possess the same knowledge as you. While a client may be unfamiliar with certain accounting concepts, a co-worker may be unfamiliar with the file you are working on. In order to write effectively, writers must bridge the knowledge gap between them and their readers.
By attending this session, you will master techniques for writing to your various readers, both “internal” and “external”.
