CEO Corner

Dear INSERT_FIRST_NAME,
With spring in the air and the end of another tax season in sight, MassCPAs is gearing up for a new membership year. To kick it off, we are bringing back our signature, member-wide networking event (formerly the Annual Meeting & Networking Reception) – and after two long years, we are thrilled to hold this event again in-person!
I hope you will join us on Tuesday, May 10, for Connect 2022 – Celebrating YOU! Whether you’re in public accounting or industry, new to accounting or a seasoned pro, you are invited to come network with colleagues and friends while enjoying delicious cocktails, plentiful hors d’oeuvres, live entertainment and spectacular views of the Charles River and Boston skyline. The event will take place from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. on the outdoor patio of the Royal Sonesta Hotel in Cambridge. The cost is $50, and parking is available at a discounted rate of $15.
Register online here. I am so excited to finally be able to catch up with our members in-person again, and I hope to see you all there!
Lastly, to our members in public accounting: you’re in the homestretch! MassCPAs is standing by to support you as you enter the final week of busy season. If we can be of any assistance, please feel welcome to contact us any time at 617.556.4000 or via email.
Have a great weekend!
Amy Pitter
MassCPAs President and CEO
