CEO Corner

Dear Hannah,
While earning CPE might take a backseat during tax season, I wanted to share some exciting news. Your CPE Tracker can now be saved as a PDF file, so you can easily upload and submit your record to the Board of Public Accountancy. We added this feature to help simplify the reporting process, which is now paperless.
To get started, visit mscpaonline.org/tracker, select your renewal year or date range, and click "Save as PDF." As a reminder, all MSCPA members have a CPE Tracker and every course taken with the MSCPA is automatically entered in your Tracker, and you can manually add any third-party course. You can check it out here (you will need to login to our website).
Throughout busy season, please know that the MSCPA is here to help you. If you need information on a specific topic, please browse our webinars; contact us if you experience issues with the DOR; and post questions and share advice with your peers on the HUB. Please also feel welcome to contact me directly at 617.303.2410 or apitter@mscpaonline.org.
Have a great weekend and go Patriots!
Amy Pitter
MSCPA President/CEO
