Anyone coordinate regularly with accountants abroad? How do you manage it?
Bit of a process question rather than anything technical. Some cross-border work is moving under me at the moment, and I've been doing walkthroughs of how we currently handle communication with local accountants in Italy, France and a few other countries.
