Now that the crunch time of tax year 2017 is safely behind you (congratulations!), it’s time to look forward to your future and the health of your firm. Where can you get requisite CPE credits, while learning what is needed to make sure you’re prepared to service the client of the future? Are you prepared for tax reform? How can you move your practice from tax preparer to trusted advisor? Are you using the best tools to streamline your workflow?

There’s no better way to stay abreast of industry learnings, get hands-on experience with cutting-edge technology, and make deep and lasting connections with your peers than attending an upcoming tax professional or accounting conference.

There are dozens of local tax and accounting conferences that take place from May to October. These conferences include:

Association-sponsored events like the NAEA National Conference, the NATP National Conference and the Latino Tax Fest.
Compliance-focused tradeshows like the five IRS Tax Forums taking place in Atlanta, Washington, D.C, San Diego, Chicago and Orlando.
Events featuring content specifically for CPAs like AICPA Engage 2018 and the Accounting & Finance Show Los Angeles.

Intuit® ProConnect™ will hit the road this spring in hopes of meeting you at an industry event. Not only does this give us the opportunity to hear from you about what matters most, but we’ll also be able to demonstrate how we’re backing you and your firm on issues such as tax reform, becoming a strong advisor to your clients and cloud service solutions, to name a few. See where you can find Intuit ProConnect at an event near you.

Taking the time to attend a one-, two- or three-day conference is not only a wise investment in the long-term growth and prosperity of your business, but also a great way to make sure you’re prepared to tackle the next tax season.
