As every year, in the first week of December, we organized a legal and tax seminar. This year’s event took place at the Nobel Tower Advanced Technology Center.

Experts from Szwak and Company – CEO Arkadiusz Szwak and CFO Karolina Walczak – discussed updates in accounting (e.g., what documents must be provided to tax offices) and changes coming into effect in 2025, as well as business and tax opportunities affecting cooperation and conducting business in Singapore.

The software house SpiceSolutions, providing software for the digitization of processes, used daily by the Szwak&Spółka team and over 2,000 users from 200 companies, presented the possibilities of quick reporting and accelerating the operations of any business. A group of over 60 entrepreneurs had the opportunity to familiarize themselves with a case study illustrating the increase in team efficiency as a consequence of digitizing further processes – starting from the implementation of software for electronic document circulation, through HR and payroll documentation and applications, a program for organizing and reporting work, to quality control and advanced, yet accessible business intelligence reporting.

Event partners – lawyers from DSK Law Firm presented the planned changes in law and taxes for the upcoming year, the obligations and threats associated with cybersecurity for organizations, and the protection of personal data. Issues related to the Estonian CIT were also analyzed.

The seminar was also an opportunity to introduce the topic of soft skills by business psychologist Magdalena Kaczmarek from Talent City, who focused in her presentation on effective searching for and developing talents in teams.

The attendees of the event also had the opportunity to learn about the benefits of collaborating with journalists and building an expert image through media appearances.

We thank the participants and speakers for their participation in and preparation of the conference.

In the latest edition of the International Accounting Bulletin, CEO Arkadiusz Szwak presents key issues related to the opportunities and conditions for doing business in Poland, the legal changes being introduced, and the trends shaping the future of the accounting industry.

The main topics discussed in the publication include:

1. The upcoming implementation of KSeF (the national e-invoicing system) and its impact on digitalization.
2. The increase in demand for tax advisory services and outsourcing of accounting services.
3. The evolution of the image of accounting in Poland – driven by innovation, technology, and qualified experts.

All of this is in relation to shaping business opportunities in Poland. The article is available here.

On March 14, 2024, at the PrimeGlobal technical conference in Vienna, at a forum of 140 accountants and advisors from nearly 40 countries from 5 continents, we had the honor of presenting the idea of digitalization of accounting processes, together with Dr. Emanuele Ferrari from the Italian consulting company Ferrari&Associati.

We presented the benefits of e-invoicing, how to implement and use digitalization tools, taking into account the sustainable development of soft skills and social capabilities of developed teams of specialists.

We combined the theory of the University of Rome and case studies of our companies to present nearly 250% higher efficiency of digitized accounting.

We are happy to have the opportunity to exchange knowledge and experience with the practices of other accounting companies, which we will certainly use in our joint project digitizing processes, especially in accounting, which is combining Szwak&Spółka, SpiceSolutions.pl and Ferrari&Associati, SpiceSolutions.it.

On November 6-9, 2023, we took part in the PrimeGlobal World Conference in Miami. We exchanged experiences, refreshed and established relationships with nearly 300 accountants, tax advisors and auditors from nearly 40 countries on all continents.

Discussions, workshops and presentations focused mainly on the services we offer and how we should change them using artificial intelligence. For three days, we explored what kind of advisors we should be and that as a company we should focus on the so-called soft skills of our teams.

It is natural to gradually move away from typically technical, hard skills in favor of soft skills. Artificial intelligence will replace us in precise calculations and analyses, including regulations, but AI cannot replace humans in the relationships that are necessary in our trust-based profession. The knowledge of how to assess, appreciate and enable talent development in team management was inspiring.

We made sure that instead of competing with AI, we should work with it.

Using the acquired knowledge in an appropriate way, we planned to achieve our annual goals – even higher quality and better and slightly different, friendlier and more effective communication.
