Building Meaningful Connections

A valuable part of AICPA Engage was the chance to interact with hundreds of professionals from all corners of the accounting world. AICPA Engage provided an incredible opportunity to connect with a diverse mix of professionals across the accounting industry—from firm executives and CPAs to technology partners and advisors. Every conversation offered fresh insight and sparked meaningful discussions about the direction the industry is taking. One of the most rewarding aspects was reconnecting with long-time partners and clients we usually collaborate virtually. Engaging in person brought new energy to those relationships and allowed us to strengthen those connections in a more impactful way.

Evolving State of the Tax Industry

Our time at AICPA Engage shed light on both the current challenges and future direction of the tax industry. A major focus was the growing integration of AI tools that are transforming traditional tax workflows.

The conversations and insights shared throughout the event reinforced just how essential innovation and adaptability have become for modern tax professionals.
