Developed by practitioners for practitioners, the AICPA’s Small Business Practitioners Tax Conference offers practical guidance, highly-focused legislative, regulatory and judicial tax updates, and other important information pertinent to the small business arena.

Most importantly, you’ll be able to provide value-added services to your small business clients – services you can implement immediately to help grow your practice. With these benefits, you cannot afford to miss this conference!
