These days, Twitter is not only a great platform to stay connected with friends and public figures, but is also one of the main mediums that some people use to keep updated on the latest news and trending topics. Companies can use Twitter to engage with influencers and the community, and have the potential to establish themselves as thought leaders by joining in on important conversations for their industry. With more than 336 million monthly active users worldwide as of 2018 (67 million of which are in the US), this is a giant conversation platform that businesses cannot afford to miss out on. As an added motivator, just think of how complex and rapidly evolving the tax and accounting industry is: Twitter can be a great way to quickly get information on new updates, rules, guidelines and deadlines. Plus, beyond helping you keep track of dates and changes, the platform allows you to effectively relay important information to your followers and to engage in discussions on those topics with industry peers. A best practice to stay on top of tax and accounting news is to create a list of experts and influencers to follow. Here are the 25 best tax and accounting Twitter accounts to follow in 2019.
