With the AICPA, I’m a member of the Tax Practice and Responsibilities Committee. This past year, I was able to help the AICPA draft sample Tax Quality Control Documents. I also speak across the country to many different CPAs and help to provide the CPE. They frequently reach out to me for advice and guidance.
