    Change is inevitable in our profession, but this year, we enter a busy season that seems especially rife with new and shifting developments. That includes the tax implications stemming from the Affordable Care Act and the demise of the Defense of Marriage Act; new local, state and federal tax codes; an increased regulatory environment in the wake of legislation such as the Dodd-Frank Act and the Consumer Protection Act; and a host of new accounting and auditing standards. Indeed, New York CPAs will have their work cut out for them in 2014.

    If you ask members of the NYSSCPA’s Northeast Chapter, Suzanne M. Jensen is something of a secret weapon for CPAs in the region. Whether it’s providing a convenient location for monthly meetings, sharing best practices for budgeting and strategic planning, or taking on yet another Society committee despite the demands of her day job, “Suzanne always responds enthusiastically to the call for service,” said Beth Van Bladel, a past Northeast Chapter president and NYSSCPA board member.

    Though your annual employee review may be months away, now’s a great time for you to put yourself inyour manager’s seat and take a hard look at your performance. And not just because it’s the season for setting resolutions—if you care about and want to own your career, you simply cannot let the employer’s performance review cycle dictate when you come up with goals or review your progress. Instead, you should treat the corporate performance management process as a supplement to your own ongoing self-assessment.

    Though no one likes to think about it, there may be times in a CPA’s professional life when he or she is called away from business for long stretches. As baby boomers, Generation Xers and other demographics continue to age, some of us will become critically ill or experience a long-term disability that may take several months—or years—to recover from. Even if poor health isn’t a factor, other concerns, such as family emergencies or unexpected personal obligations, can keep a CPA on the sidelines.

    Two venerable NYSSCPA traditions are back again for another year, and the Society is looking for volunteers to help keep them going. These ventures not only burnish the NYSSCPA's image, but help others outside the accounting community as well.

    NYSSCPA members are used to participating in discussions on the Society’s Facebook page and LinkedIn group, as well as in other social media ventures. Now, the NYSSCPA is taking it to the next level with a new online community exclusively for members and organized specifically by committee and chapter. The Society’s new site “Exchange—the NYSSCPA’s Social Network,” gives members the ability to extend their networking activities at society events by continuing to engage with colleagues after attending a committee meeting or FAE course.
