CRI's Current Accounting Events

CRI's CPAs and business advisors are committed to providing direction through ongoing conversation with our accounting clients, local communities, and others within the accounting profession. While technology has increased the ease of our dialogue, we still believe in face-to-face communications between ourselves and our clients and communities. And that's why we believe in offering seminars and events designed to educate business people regarding accounting, auditing, tax, and business consulting solutions. It is our job to be aware of industry trends and professional accounting and tax updates that impact your business, and we are happy to share our insights with you.
