Dear Hannah,
Happy almost October 15th! Next week begins our firm visit season – a time between major deadlines where meet with members
at their offices to talk about trends in the profession, opportunities to get involved with the Society and how we can help them grow at their
firms.
The agenda for each visit is tailored to
the unique needs of the firm, and they usually last an hour. In the last year, we’ve been all over the state –North Andover, Canton,
Quincy and Boston, to name a few – and I’d love to visit your firm this year. We have some exciting new offerings to share with you and
your team, so let’s mark a date on the calendar! To schedule your visit, please contact me at apitter@mscpaonline.org or Kara Kieran at kkieran@mscpaonline.org.
I look forward to seeing you soon!
Amy A. Pitter
