CEO Corner

Dear Hannah,
I know that this is a busy time for many of our members as the October 15 deadline looms, and I wanted to let you know that the Society is here to support you. If we can be of any assistance to you during this time, please feel welcome to contact our main line at 617.556.4000 or you can contact me directly at apitter@mscpaonline.org. And, you can always ask your fellow MSCPA members questions by posting on the HUB, our member-only online community.
They say once tax season is over, a new one begins, and the Society has designed our Federal Tax Camps to help you prepare for what's ahead. Offered in three locations and on broadcast, Tax Camp will bring back the ever-popular Sue Smith, CPA to help you navigate the most important legislative and regulatory developments of the season, as well as trends and changes in the case law. I hope to see you at one of the following locations:
You can view all of our upcoming conferences and events here. We recently added an attendee list on our registration pages, so you can see who's coming to the event before you register!

Have a wonderful weekend!
