This was an unprecedented gathering of some of Florida’s most trusted financial experts to promote the importance of the CPA profession in Florida and to advocate for 2025 legislative priorities.
“I would like to express my gratitude to the elected leaders who spent time meeting hundreds of CPAs who traveled to our Capitol.
