With solutions including the CS Professional Suite, Checkpoint, and many others, Thomson Reuters provides tax and accounting professionals the broadest and deepest solution set available in the profession.”

“The SYNERGY Conference offers a great environment for practitioners to learn, network, and gain insight that they can put to use in their firms immediately,” Baron said. “That has driven the success of the conference over the years. With the near-capacity attendance we’re expecting this year, that atmosphere should be more dynamic than ever.”
