Elizabeth Shwiff Says Technology Is Transforming Tax Compliance, But Human Expertise Remains Essential
San Francisco, CA, Jun 12, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — As businesses and individuals increasingly adopt automation, artificial intelligence, and cloud-based accounting platforms, tax compliance is becoming faster and more efficient. However, according to Elizabeth Shwiff, founding and managing partner of Shwiff, Levy & Polo, LLP, technology alone cannot replace the judgment, experience, and strategic thinking required to navigate today’s increasingly complex tax environment.
Tax regulations continue to evolve at a rapid pace. Businesses face growing compliance obligations across multiple jurisdictions, changing reporting requirements, and heightened scrutiny from regulatory agencies. While software can automate calculations and streamline recordkeeping, Shwiff believes successful tax compliance still depends heavily on professional interpretation and oversight. “Technology is an incredibly valuable tool, but it is still just a tool,” said Shwiff. “Tax laws are constantly changing, and every client’s situation is unique. Software can process information, but it cannot fully understand context, identify emerging risks, or provide the strategic guidance that comes from years of professional experience.”
The accounting profession has experienced a significant technological transformation over the past decade. Cloud-based systems now allow businesses to manage financial information in real time, while artificial intelligence applications can categorize transactions, identify anomalies, and generate reports in a matter of seconds. These advancements have improved efficiency and reduced the amount of time professionals spend on routine administrative tasks.
For accounting firms, technology has created opportunities to provide faster service and deeper analysis. Yet Shwiff cautions that greater automation has also created a misconception that tax compliance can be handled entirely through software without professional involvement.
According to Shwiff, one of the greatest risks businesses face is assuming that automated systems can identify every tax issue or planning opportunity. While software is effective at processing information based on established rules, it may not recognize unusual circumstances, changing regulations, or complex transactions that require professional interpretation. “Many tax challenges arise not from calculations but from judgment,” said Shwiff. “Business acquisitions, ownership restructurings, international transactions, estate planning decisions, and many other situations require careful analysis. These are areas where professional guidance remains critical.”
Shwiff’s perspective is shaped by more than three decades of experience advising businesses, entrepreneurs, high-net-worth individuals, trusts, and estates. Throughout her career, she has worked on matters involving tax planning, compliance, forensic accounting, litigation support, and cross-border financial issues.
She notes that technology has become particularly valuable in helping professionals identify trends and improve accuracy. However, she believes the most effective approach combines technological efficiency with experienced human review.
The increasing complexity of tax compliance is evident across multiple areas of practice. Businesses operating in several states must navigate varying tax rules and reporting requirements. Companies conducting international business face additional layers of regulation and compliance obligations. Individuals with significant investments, trusts, or estate planning structures often encounter sophisticated tax considerations that require personalized analysis.
At the same time, tax authorities are also leveraging technology to improve enforcement capabilities. Advanced data analytics allow regulators to identify discrepancies, detect unusual reporting patterns, and conduct more targeted examinations. As a result, businesses and individuals must ensure that compliance efforts are both accurate and well-documented.
Shwiff believes this environment makes professional guidance more important, not less. “As technology becomes more powerful, expectations for accuracy and compliance increase as well,” she said. “The goal is not simply to file returns. The goal is to understand the larger financial picture, manage risk appropriately, and make informed decisions that support long-term objectives.”
Beyond compliance, Shwiff emphasizes the importance of strategic tax planning. While software can help organize information, it cannot independently evaluate a client’s broader goals, risk tolerance, family circumstances, or business objectives. Those conversations often lead to planning opportunities that technology alone would not identify.
She also stresses the importance of maintaining strong ethical standards as firms adopt new technologies. Professional judgment remains essential when evaluating financial information, protecting client confidentiality, and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements.
Under Shwiff’s leadership, Shwiff, Levy & Polo, LLP continues to integrate advanced technologies while maintaining a strong focus on personalized client service. The firm provides accounting, tax planning and compliance, forensic accounting, expert witness services, litigation support, estate and trust planning, and advisory services to clients throughout the United States and internationally.
Looking ahead, Shwiff expects technology to continue reshaping the accounting profession. However, she believes the most successful firms will be those that balance innovation with the expertise and judgment clients rely upon when facing important financial decisions. “The future of accounting is not technology versus people,” said Shwiff. “It is technology supporting professionals who bring experience, insight, and strategic thinking to complex situations. That combination delivers the greatest value to clients and helps them navigate an increasingly complicated financial world.” To learn more about Shwiff, Levy & Polo, LLP, visit: https://www.slpconsults.cpa/about-the-company.html

Craig Plescia Debunks Five Myths Holding Back Construction Leaders
-
Craig Plescia, Founder and CEO of Plescia Construction & Development in Morristown, New Jersey, challenges common misconceptions that prevent professionals from reaching their full potential in the construction industry.
The Problem with Industry Myths
New Jersey, USA, Jun 12, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — Construction professionals face pressure from every direction: tight margins, demanding clients, unpredictable schedules, and a workforce stretched thin. In this environment, myths take root quickly. They sound reasonable. They feel safe. But they quietly undermine performance.
Craig Plescia has seen these misconceptions derail projects, drain profitability, and burn out talented people. After more than two decades leading commercial construction projects across multiple sectors, he has identified five myths that consistently mislead individuals in the industry.
“Consistency, credibility, and execution. If you can reliably generate opportunities, build trust, and deliver results at a high level, you’ll outperform most people in this industry,” Plescia says.
Myth One: More Hours Equals Better Results
Many construction professionals believe that working longer hours is the only path to success. The logic seems sound: more time on the job means more gets done. The culture reinforces it. People wear exhaustion as a badge of honor.
This belief persists because the industry rewards visible effort and punishes downtime. When a project falls behind, the instinct is to throw more hours at the problem. But hours without structure lead to mistakes, rework, and burnout.
The reality is different. Execution creates momentum, not endless hours. “I focus on what I can control, break challenges into smaller actions, and rely on routine instead of motivation. Execution creates momentum, and momentum overrides doubt,” Plescia explains.
Practical tip: Block three hours tomorrow morning for high-priority work only. Turn off notifications. Focus on one deliverable. Measure the quality of output, not the quantity of hours.
Myth Two: Success Means Sacrificing Personal Life
The belief that professional achievement requires personal sacrifice runs deep. People assume that building a successful business means missing family events, neglecting health, and putting relationships on hold. The narrative is everywhere: if you want to win, something has to give.
This myth survives because early-stage businesses often demand intense focus. The lines blur. The hours pile up. But making it a permanent strategy leads to breakdown, not breakthrough.
The fact is that professional success and personal stability are not opposites. They support each other. “Professional success builds the foundation, but personal stability makes it sustainable. When they’re aligned, performance and overall satisfaction are significantly higher,” Plescia notes.
Practical tip: Set one non-negotiable personal commitment this week and protect it the same way you protect a client meeting. Health, family, or rest. No exceptions.
Myth Three: Taking On Every Project Builds the Business
Many contractors believe that saying yes to every opportunity is the fastest way to grow. More projects mean more revenue, more visibility, and more relationships. Turning down work feels risky, especially early on.
This belief takes hold because deal flow is unpredictable. When opportunities arrive, the instinct is to grab them. But taking on poorly scoped or underpriced work erodes margins and stretches resources thin.
The lesson is clear: not all projects are good projects. “We took on a project early that wasn’t properly scoped or priced, which hurt margins. I used that as a lesson to implement stricter qualification, clearer scopes, and disciplined pricing,” Plescia says.
Practical tip: Before accepting the next project, ask three questions. Does it fit your strengths? Is it priced correctly? Will it strengthen your reputation? If the answer to any is no, walk away.
Myth Four: Results Are the Only Thing That Matter
The construction industry is results-driven. Projects are either on time and on budget or they are not. This clarity is valuable. But it also creates a myth: that outcomes are the only measure of success.
People believe this because clients care about results. Contracts are built around them. Performance is judged by them. But results without quality execution, client satisfaction, or team morale are hollow victories.
The truth is that how you deliver matters as much as what you deliver. “Outcomes come first, but they have to align with my standards and client feedback. Real success is hitting the target, executing at a high level, and leaving the right impression,” Plescia explains.
Practical tip: After your next project milestone, ask your client one question: What could we have done better? Use the feedback to improve the next phase.
Myth Five: Success Happens Once You Arrive
Many professionals believe that success is a destination. Hit a revenue target, win a major project, or land a key client, and the hard work is over. The struggle ends. The pressure lifts.
This myth persists because milestones feel like finish lines. Celebrating them is important. But treating them as endpoints leads to complacency. Growth stops when the drive to improve stops.
The reality is that success is a process, not a prize. “I continuously raise the bar, seek out bigger challenges, and stay around people who push my standards higher. Growth comes from staying uncomfortable and intentional, not from success itself,” Plescia says.
Practical tip: Set a new standard this month that makes you slightly uncomfortable. Raise your pricing. Pursue a bigger client. Tighten your project timeline. Stay intentional.
If You Only Remember One Thing
Execution beats effort. Discipline beats hours. Clarity beats hustle. The construction professionals who succeed long-term are not the ones who work the most. They are the ones who work with intention, protect their standards, and build systems that create repeatable results.
Take Action Today
These myths are not harmless. They cost money, time, and opportunity. Share this list with someone in your network who needs to hear it. Pick one tip from the list and apply it today. Small changes in approach create outsized results over time.

Donald Deibler: Why Your Local Business Matters More Than You Think
-
Donald Deibler, a Pennsylvania entrepreneur and community advocate, explains how everyday choices shape the future of small towns.
The Decision You Make Every Day
Hegins, Pennsylvania, Jun 12, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — Every time you choose where to eat, where to shop, or where to spend your money, you are casting a vote. You are deciding whether your community grows stronger or whether it slowly fades. Most people do not think about it that way. They see a transaction. But Donald Deibler sees something bigger.
“Local businesses are part of the community. They’re not separate from it,” Deibler says. “When communities support local businesses, those businesses are able to give back and help the area grow.”
Deibler grew up in Donaldson, Pennsylvania, in a large family where hard work was not optional. Sports, family, and showing up for each other were central to daily life. After earning a degree in Music Business from Albright College in 2015, he became Business Manager of All Stars Ice Cream and Café Bakery. Today, he plays a major operational role behind the scenes at Dead Horse Beer & Burritos, a restaurant owned by his wife. He describes himself as “the man behind the vision,” helping shape operations, solve problems, and step into the kitchen when needed.
His perspective on business is simple. Small businesses are not just economic engines. They are anchors. When they succeed, the entire community benefits.
What Happens When Money Stays Local
When you buy from a local business, the money does not disappear into a corporate headquarters hundreds of miles away. It circulates. It pays a local employee. It funds a sponsorship for a youth sports team. It keeps a storefront open on Main Street.
“When local businesses succeed, communities benefit,” Deibler explains. “Jobs stay local. Relationships stay local. The money keeps moving through the town instead of leaving it.”
This is not theory. It is what Deibler has seen firsthand. In small towns across Pennsylvania, local businesses support Little League teams, donate to church fundraisers, and sponsor community events. They do this not because they have to, but because they are part of the fabric of the place.
The Problem Is Not Awareness
Most people know they should support local businesses. They see the signs in windows. They hear the appeals on social media. But intention does not always translate into action. It is easier to order online. It is faster to go to a chain. It is more convenient to choose what is familiar.
The gap between knowing and doing is where communities lose ground.
“The little things matter,” Deibler says. “People remember how you treat them and how consistent you are.”
Consistency applies to customers, too. One visit to a local restaurant is nice. But returning regularly, bringing friends, and spreading the word makes the difference between a business that survives and one that thrives.
What Small Business Owners Actually Do
Deibler is not the kind of leader who manages from an office. He works alongside his team. He jumps into whatever role needs attention. When the kitchen is short-staffed, he cooks. When a customer has a concern, he listens.
“I like being hands-on,” he says. “If something needs to get done, I’ll jump in.”
This approach is common among small business owners. They do not have the luxury of staying in one lane. They are accountants, marketers, cooks, cleaners, and therapists all in one day. They know their customers by name. They notice when someone has not been in for a while. They care because their livelihood depends on it, but also because they are genuinely invested in the people they serve.
“If customers aren’t happy, nothing else matters,” Deibler says. “You have to earn that trust every day.”
Why Community Support Is Not Optional
Deibler is also active in supporting youth sports programs like Tri Valley Little League and organizations like St. Peter’s UCC. He believes that being part of a town means showing up, not just during business hours.
“Being part of a town means showing up. Not just during business hours,” he says.
This is the reciprocal relationship that makes small towns work. Businesses support the community. The community supports the businesses. When one side pulls back, the whole system weakens.
The challenge is that support has to be intentional. It has to be a habit. It cannot be something people do only when they feel guilty or when a business is on the verge of closing.
What You Can Do This Week
You do not need to overhaul your life to make a difference. Small, consistent actions add up. Here are ten things you can do this week to support local businesses and strengthen your community:
-
Buy lunch or dinner from a locally owned restaurant instead of a chain.
-
Leave a positive online review for a local business you appreciate.
-
Refer a local business to a friend or family member who needs their service.
-
Follow three local businesses on social media and engage with their posts.
-
Buy a gift card from a local shop and give it to someone as a gift.
-
Attend a community event sponsored by a local business.
-
Ask a local business owner how you can help them succeed.
-
Share a post from a local business to your social media network.
-
Choose a local vendor for your next home repair, car service, or other need.
-
Make a small donation to a youth sports team or community organization.
A Simple Challenge
Pick one action from the list above. Commit to it for the next seven days. Then share this letter with someone who cares about your community. It could be a neighbor, a coworker, or a friend who just moved to town.
Your choices matter. The businesses in your town are counting on you to show up.
