Shannon Bond’s association with the tax industry began in 2001 with an entrepreneurial franchise company in Jacksonville, Florida. Over the course of the past 22 years, she has engaged with hundreds of tax professionals, assisted new preparers in setting up their first tax office, worked with growing firms to establish best practices around compliance and workflow, and convened customer advisory boards to understand how their software can assist them in serving their clients.
Bond joined Wolters Kluwer in 2009 leading various product management teams within the tax and accounting division. In 2016 her focus shifted to building out a formal government relations framework for North America, working closely with the IRS, federal and state agencies, key legislators, and congressional committees to ensure the voice of the tax preparation community is heard and our customers have a voice in regulatory changes. In 2019, she took on the role of Vice President of the tax preparation segment, returning to her customer-centric roots to deliver maximum value to our customers.
Bond has had the opportunity to work with professionals across the industry ranging from individual owners, multi-office operators, VITA locations, franchise systems and larger CPA firms, to understand the needs of their business and the clients they support. She is the current Chair of CERCA, past secretary of ACTR, co-lead of the Tax Professional Work Group for the IRS Security Summit, and a former member of the IRS Electronic Tax Administration Advisory Committee.
