This year, Diversified Canada held the premier conference for accounting and finance professionals, Accountex Canada, at the Metro Toronto Convention Center (MTCC) in Downtown Toronto, Ontario. From November 30th to December 1st, 2022, industry professionals were able to discuss new and emerging tech, network, and educate one another.
Accountex is Europe’s top accounting and finance conference and expanded to Canada for the very first time this year. TitanFile was lucky enough to exhibit and have the opportunity to connect with new and familiar faces.

How a Secure Portal Can Help Streamline Tax Season for Canadian Accountants
On Thursday, December 1st, 2022, TitanFile’s Director of Business, Victor Abou-Assaleh, hosted an informative session on the topic of secure client portals and streamlining tax season. As a professional in the business for over 10 years, Victor demonstrated the hardships of sharing sensitive information online and how streamlining this process can be effective and secure for accounting professionals.
Our Top Takeaway from Accountex 2022
Security is at top of the mind for accountants this tax season
Since the onset of the pandemic, cybercrime has increased tenfold. Once the majority of workers started working from home, that meant more information started being shared online, rather than outdated methods like faxing, USBs, etc. This posed a great opportunity for cyber attackers.
Now, accountants are looking for file-sharing solutions that prioritize the security of their confidential documents. Having a secure portal that is encrypted end-to-end, meets compliance standards, and most importantly, keeps Canadian data hosted in Canada is a top priority this tax season.
How TitanFile is Helping Accountants and Finance Professionals
TitanFile understands that tax season can be stressful for accounting professionals. That’s why, at Accountex Canada, we held a booth to showcase how accountants and finance professionals can ditch old practices such as email, courier, and in-person drop-off and adopt a modern secure client portal to communicate with their clients instead.
TitanFile’s Secure Portal gives accounting and finance professionals access to:
- An intuitive custom-branded client portal for both you and your clients
