Zoho Books + Enrolled Agents: Faster Bank Import
Enrolled Agents representing clients before the IRS need to review bank statements for tax return preparation, audit defense, and compliance verification. If you use Zoho Books for your accounting, you need a fast way to get bank statement data into the system.

They compare bank deposits against 1099s and W-2s to identify discrepancies and help clients respond to IRS notices and correspondence audits.
