Happy New Year and Welcome to Tax Season!!


Dear Fellow Professional,

Education is a must for all accounting and tax professionals. Education is the main objective of the Florida Society of Accountants' Mission Statement.Education is what the Florida Society of Accountants are constantly striving to bring to their members, as well as accounting and tax professionals throughout the state of Florida.

FSA just presented two excellent seminars. The 2009 Tax Preparers' Seminar and the IRS Spanish Speaking Update Seminar. Both of these seminars were great opportunities for FSA members to get tax updates and interact with IRS personnel.

Don't forget all of the education presented at the FSA chapter meetings each month! There has been a wonderful variety of subjects presented at the local level. Keep an eye on the FSA calendar for information regarding local chapter activities.

Education is a must with all of the changes taking place within the Internal Revenue Service at this time. The Florida Society of Accountants are here to help the small accounting and tax professionals throughout the state of Florida.
