“If you're a small firm practitioner, you wear two hats: one as a CPA and one as a business owner. This conference helps you step back and focus on running your practice with intention. It’s not just about technical updates, it's about finding community, sharing ideas, and learning how to build a firm that supports the life and career you want. You really can’t afford to miss it.”

—Chris Picciurro, CPA, MBA, PFS, ARA, Co Founder of Integrated CPA Group and Founder of the Monthly Recurring Revenue Institute
