More from yesterday at CPA Day at the Gold Dome.
Tax laws impact real people and real businesses. CPAs play an important role in helping lawmakers understand how policy works in practice and where details matter most.
Grateful to be part of the conversation.

Spent the morning at CPA Day at the Gold Dome with the Georgia Society of CPAs.
Tax law works better when the people writing it understand how it functions in real life. That is why CPAs show up to explain impact, administration, and details that matter.

In this feature, I wrote about a simple reality. Intent is not a plan. Tax law and written documents decide outcomes.

Very on brand for me to wear a Bah Humbug hat and still enjoy the holidays in my own way.
I bought myself a gift that made me laugh and honestly, that felt like a win.
I enjoy being a Grinch. What’s your non-traditional holiday habit that you love anyway?

Holiday road trip means snacks, music, and ethics CPE.
And no, my husband still doesn’t know who my clients are. That’s not a secret. That’s ethics. 😂
If you’re listening to CPE while heading to family Christmas, I see you.

After years of being told, “You need to write a book”… I’m finally listening.
It’s humbling to know people value the way I explain how taxes touch every part of life. That encouragement stuck with me.
I’ve taken the first step, and I’m ready to write.
Let’s see where this journey leads.

Last week, I had the honor of accepting the Georgia Society of CPAs Meritorious Award on behalf of Art Auerbach at this year’s Fall Leadership Council.
I’ve never met another CPA quite like Art. Stay tuned for a follow-up video when I deliver the award to him in person!

Tax law just got flipped. There was always a tradeoff for being tax-exempt. Now, apparently, not so much.
I think I’ll start a church.
