Tax Preparation Technology Solutions

Marathon's involvement in the commercial tax preparation industry has been both extensive and effective. Marathon consultants have provided thought leadership in many key areas including online tax preparation services, store-front tax preparation services, and Internet marketing.

Our support of the tax preparation industry has afforded us the opportunity to provide a wide range of IT consulting services. These have included such services as:

These services have been provided in both a staff augmentation and Marathon managed services mode, depending upon the client needs.

In the staff augmentation mode, Marathon consultants have been able to blend into client-managed teams and supplement the skills of the client team. This additional capacity allowed the client to meet crucial deadlines, often imposed by the IRS or state governments. When the projects are completed, the Marathon consultants move on to other clients. This utilization of staff augmentation to meet peak loads allows the client to meet crucial business requirements without having to hire permanent staff.

The Marathon-managed mode, Marathon consultants work with senior client management to define requirements and develop conceptual solutions. This allows the client to leverage Marathon's cross-industry technical skills to develop the optimum solution. When the software development engagement is underway, Marathon relies on its various IT methodologies to ensure client requirements are met or exceeded.
