can use their laptops and computers and
login through any web browser. This
presents our company the opportunity to
offer both in-person and online services,
giving us the chance to attract customers
who do not want to pay the price of
accounting services. They can pay a
lower fee to use the app and also get the
satisfaction that a skilled accountant is
double-checking the app’s work and
ensuring that the tax return gets filed.

medium to large sized companies and corporations. Another constraint is making a deal with
TurboTax to implement it into our company. We will have to negotiate with the developers to
come to an exclusive deal so that our company is the only one to have TurboTax implemented in
order to make our company stand out.

penalties. The TurboTax program double-checks every step as the person is filling out the

product is shown in Figure 5.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.
Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.
Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.
The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
