Dear Hannah,
Happy New Year! I hope
you were all able to relax and spend time with your family and
friends over the holidays – 2023 is already shaping up to be
another busy year! With so much going on both in the profession
and the world around us, I wanted to share one of our newly
revamped resources to help ease some of the burden that many
are facing as we gear up for tax season.
Our new-and-improved Vendor
Directory is a year-round interactive
exhibit hall designed to connect you, our members, with quality
vendors that will help you succeed. Whether you’re looking for
help with payroll, an IT consultant or anything in between, the
Vendor Directory is the perfect place to find a partner to help
with all your service needs. Complete with member benefits,
testimonials and direct contact information, you can easily
search by business category, location or name. The Directory is
updated throughout the year, so be sure to check back often as
your planning needs change. You can find out more on our
website at masscpas.org/vendordirectory,
or reach out to Kristin Wells at kwells@masscpas.org.
We hope you will find the Vendor Directory to be a helpful
resource, and as always, we welcome your thoughts and
suggestions about ways we can help you, your firm or
organization in 2023 and beyond. Please feel welcome to reach out to me
at any time. Stay well and have a great weekend!
Amy Pitter
MassCPAs President and CEO
