10 of the best
Were not sure what makes the perfect Twitter feed, but when it comes to those we follow for professional reasons, we think one of the main qualifiers is putting out frequent tweets full of useful information but we also dont want to discount the value of a little personality, either!
We think these 10 tweeters, while not necessarily the ones with the most followers, represent some of the best of whats available for tax pros in the Twitterverse.
(Follower figures are as of April 25.)
