Many of our clients wonder what goes on in our office the other 9 months of the year outside of tax season. For one, we stay busy with business other than tax returns such as bookkeeping, payroll services, and business consulting. Another thing that happens in our “off-season” is our continuing education. To maintain a valid CPA license, a CPA is required to complete a certain number of educational hours each year. These hours, called continuing education, can be completed either online or at in-person tax conferences. This past week, some members of our staff attended the NATP (National Association of Tax Professionals) conference up in Anaheim.
