Early Bird Tax Alert 
Tax based marketing and PR tools for your practice

What if you could organise a steady stream of high quality PR material, delivered to local and regional media each month – without you having to write or send it? What if the UK’s leading tax specialists wrote Plain English material for your practice each month – and you could automatically email this material to your high value clients according to their particular areas of tax interest?

Finally what if the same material from one article per quarter was converted into a Power Point presentation that you could use to present an In-House tax seminar for clients, prospects, referral sources or staff?

Using Early Bird Tax Alert, practitioners will have the opportunity to engage the UK’s leading tax specialists each month for less than 30 minutes’ chargeable time.  Regular writers are Rebecca Benneyworth, Francesca Lagerberg and Neil Warren.
