VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY: B&I Task Force
The Austin CPA Chapter is always looking for new ways to serve our members who work in business and industry (as opposed to public practice), so we’re forming a task force to focus exclusively on issues affecting our B&I members. Contact Diane Joiner for more info.
Summer CPE Offerings
We’re only in the first couple of weeks of summer and already into triple digit temperatures. Get out of the heat and into our cool training room for one or more of our CPE Courses in July or August.
