Answer Capsule: What are Swanson Reed Webinars?

Swanson Reed Educational Webinars are specialized, digital training sessions designed to help corporate leaders, technical directors, and accounting professionals master the complexities of Research and Development (R&D) Tax Credits. Led by our tier-one team of tax CPAs, tax attorneys, and industry engineers, these webinars bridge the gap between tax legislation (like IRC Section 41) and real-world innovation. We offer a mix of live events—many of which qualify for free CPE credits for CPAs and CE credits for CFPs—and an extensive on-demand library. All data and registration information collected during these events is strictly protected by our corporate Complaint and Privacy Policy.
