CEO Corner

Dear Hannah,

With the end of the year on the horizon, I wanted to make sure you were aware of three important, virtual programs that will help you – and your teams – prepare for a successful 2022. 

1. New England Practice Management Conference (November 17-19): So much has changed this year, and that means your firm has, too. Get everything you need for increased revenue, greater innovation, more productivity, better retention and higher employee satisfaction in 2022! Register here.  

We will hold two in-person networking meetups for conference attendees on November 9 in Holyoke and November 10 in Newton! Contact Julia Ekelund for details. 

2. Federal Tax Camp (December 8,9 and 10): Back by popular demand, Sue Smith, CPA returns to prepare you for the upcoming busy season! We are offering three sessions, so you can pick the one that works best for you. Register here.  

3. Emerging Leaders Summit (December 13-14): Become an effective, future-ready leader in two half-days! Developed in collaboration with accounting’s current leaders, this conference will give young professionals the critical skills they need to advance and help their firms/organizations grow. Register here.  

We are proud to continue to offer the quality content and top-level speakers you’ve come to expect from us. Another benefit of our conferences – and all MassCPAs CPE offerings – is that you could be fully reimbursed for your registration through the state’s Workforce Training Program. You must register and apply for reimbursement three weeks in advance to qualify, so act now! To learn more, click here or contact Julia Ekelund.  

Have a great weekend!
