"I enjoy the online CPE because it allows for me to stay up-to-date with pertinent accounting issues while studying on my own time. I can pause the sessions and resume at my convenience. I feel the CPE is highly relevant as a majority of the sessions have lecturers who are experts in their field. The online interface that NYSSCPA utilizes is user friendly and allows me to easily sort by topic."

  • In Implementing an Estate Plan, Knowledge of Client Quirks a Must
    Dec 4, 2019

    Dec 2, 2019
    Family offices, in their role as wealth-management advisors, are tasked with educating families and presenting them with the most tax-efficient options for transferring wealth, while also taking into consideration the lifestyle needs of the family.
