AICPA Small Business Practitioners Tax Conference

Developed by practitioners for practitioners, the AICPA’s Small Business Practitioners Tax Conference is solutions-driven — offering practical guidance and highly-focused legislative, regulatory and judicial tax updates, in addition to information geared specifically for the small business arena and your direct involvement in it.

You won’t find tax theory and big business issues discussed here. Instead you’ll get insights from the experts on the complex tax issues that directly impact your clients. You’ll get lots of tax-saving strategies, too. Plus there’ll be extensive opportunities to network with your colleagues.

Most importantly, you’ll learn to provide value added services to your small business clients, an approach you can use immediately to help grow your practice.
