Tankersley & Associates

Welcome to the website of Brian F. Tankersley, CPA.CITP. I am a writer, speaker, and CPA focusing on technology matters for accountants. I am the editor and publisher of the CPA Tech Blog (www.cpatechblog.com). I work with a number of organizations, including:

• Associate, K2 Enterprises - I teach about 100 days a year through K2 Enterprises, the leading provider for technology-related continuing professional education (CPE) for CPAs and CAs. I am responsible for presenting all day seminars as well as making special presentations at conferences, and have spoken for 45 of the state CPA societies, as well as in Canada. I'm especially looking forward to speaking in Idaho for the first time later this year, and hope to speak in the remaining states (ME, VT, DE, AK, PR, and the territories) later in my career.
• Technical Editor and Columnist, The CPA Practice Advisor - I write a column on Sage Peachtree for the magazine. I also work with the editorial team and outside reviewers to help CPAs understand the benefits and potential limitations of different applications, and also provide insight into how technology issues affect practitioners.
• Consultant, Network Management Group, Inc. - I work with Randy Johnston, Steve Harper, Dr. Bob Spencer, and the rest of the team at Network Management Group on consulting projects regularly. While NMGI is in rural Hutchinson, Kansas, Randy and Steve have built a world class IT organization over the last 25 years, and is known as a leading value added reseller for accounting and other professional services firms, financial institutions, and many other segments.

I have also served as a Senior Faculty Member for Becker CPA Review, and have worked in technology, public accounting, and industry over the last 19 years in Knoxville, Tennessee.
