CEO Corner
|
Dear Hannah,
Time is ticking down to the end of what I hope was a very smooth and successful tax season for all of our members in public accounting. I have nothing but the greatest respect and admiration for each one of you as you work endless hours for months doing the best for your clients - it really is something special. I hope many of you are planning some much-deserved rest and relaxation with friends and family when it's all over.
The DOR looks to us for feedback and advice on how the filing season went, so they can make improvements for next year. If you'd like to share your comments, please join the MSCPA's Tax Committee for a tax season debrief on April 23. The meeting will take place at the Society's office at 8:30 a.m. You can view all our spring committee meetings, networking events and CPE programs here. We have wonderful events happening throughout the state, and I hope to see you this spring!
Have a great weekend!
Amy Pitter
MSCPA President/CEO
