CalCPA Takes CPAs On Comprehensive "Tax Journey" To Help Navigate Complexity Of Upcoming Tax Season
NEW COURSES AND TAX CONFERENCES ON TAX TOPICS UNVEILED FOR OCTOBER 2020 - FEBRUARY 2021
BURLINGAME, Calif., Oct. 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The California Society of CPAs (CalCPA) has developed a new "tax journey" for CPAs who provide everything from tax preparation and compliance services to sophisticated tax advisory services as a way to help them navigate the complexities of taxation this year.
"The upcoming tax season is sure to be more complex than prior years due to factors like the pandemic, stimulus packages, destruction from the wildfires and changing regulations," said Brad Monterio, Chief Learning Officer of CalCPA. "We've worked with our expert faculty to develop education, resources and training for our members and customers to help them be more resilient and enhance their tax competency and ensure they are best prepared to meet the new challenges and opportunities of this tax season."
CalCPA's tax journey begins with its in-demand Ultimate Tax Guide featuring its tax curriculum and key programs along the path. Forthcoming programs include:
- Three of our own new, tax-focused, virtual conferences, including our two-day, TaxTrek Conference featuring advanced level tax topics;
- The kick-off of a new, virtual Titans of Tax Tour featuring national tax expert Annette Nellen (November 2020 – February 2021);
- Tax webcasts and new tax tracks at CalCPA's new, virtual LearningPlus+ 3-day programs (reimagined former CalCPA CPE Week programs) in November and December;
- A soon to be unveiled, new program on how to transition from compliance services to advisory services for higher profitability and revenue;
- Staff Training on Taxation – our expert faculty train your tax staff in focused virtual sessions on core skills needed;
- A bi-weekly tax webcast series hosted by a prominent tax expert; and
- Special appearances by IRS Commissioner Charles "Chuck" Rettig at TaxTrek and others CalCPA virtual events.
"I'm excited to launch the next season of Titans of Tax tour during CalCPA's November LearningPlus+ event because of all the changes we've seen in taxation this year," said Annette Nellen, CPA, CGMA, Esq., Professor/Director of the MST Program, San Jose State University, and CalCPA Faculty Member. "Over the course of several months, I and some special guest presenters will help CPAs navigate through the updates and complexities of what's happened this year in taxation during each two-day program. Our tour ends in February 2021."
"Taxation is a core competency of the accounting profession, and CalCPA will always continue to innovate in how we deliver relevant, timely and quality tax related education and training resources to our members and customers so they can enhance their core competency," added Monterio. "We'll push the limits of enabling technologies to bring you positive online learning experiences; we'll seek out subject matter experts for our Tax Faculty to push your thinking and elevate your knowledge; and we'll strive to be the highest quality provider bringing real value to our members and customers."
