Ensuring Success, the largest live-streamed CPE conference for accounting and tax professionals, was held December 6-7, providing these financial and tax advisors the opportunity to complete their credential requirements, and also offering strategies for developing firm growth opportunities, technology updates, and strategies to better serve their clients.
More than 3,300 professionals registered for this year’s event, which was the 10th anniversary of Ensuring Success, which was initiated by Gail Perry, CPA. Over two days and 14 one-hour sessions, the profession’s top thought leaders served on panel discussions covering a variety of subject areas related to tax, accounting, technology, practice management and ethics.
On the first day of the event (Dec. 6, 2023), the CPE sessions included tax-related ethics, firm management, small firm strategies for tax credits, 2023-24 tax season issues, digital assets, firm branding/marketing, and practical AI uses for accountants.
On day two (Dec. 7, 2023), session topics included data security risks for firms, e-commerce accounting, spend management advisory services, big data, firm growth strategies, tax audit resolution issues, and firm transformation.
