Reason # 10
Practicing: We live up to our middle name; an organization comprised of ONLY practicing CPAs

Reason # 9
Raps: Fifteen or so CPAs sitting around a table discussing tax problems happening in their practice. They would come to the TAX RAPS even if we didn't offer CPE! At ADP in Rockville. FREE parking.

Reason # 8
Tax Season Post Mortem: A discussion of what went right and what went wrong this tax season. The good, the bad and the ugly of computer tax packages and tax return processing procedures. An APCPA exclusive!

Reason # 7
Annual Tax Seminar : We have been doing this for more over 35 years -- before CPE was required. A full day of new tax laws and/or current specialized tax areas presented by top tax CPAs and attorneys.

Reason # 6
Accounting and Auditing Conference: Tax season is important, but those financials have to get out also. We dissect what FASB and AICPA pronounce and its effect on the small practitioner. Plus the latest on Peer Review.

Reason # 5
Monthly Meetings: From September to early January, two in May and one each in June and July, plus all the RAPS add up to more than 50 CPE hours. FREE parking!

Reason # 4
Value for your $$$: Our dues are currently $70. The 8 CPE hour Tax Seminar is only $150 and the 3 CPE hour breakfast sessions are $60. Plus a Savings Plan if you sign up early for all of them. Ten, 2-CPE-hour, TAX RAPS are FREE!

Reason # 3
E-Mail Tax Raps: Type out your tax or accounting question and it automatically goes to all member subscribers. Your answer comes back from another member to you and all on the list. Your problem is solved and everybody learns.

Reason # 2
Resource Directory: Members list their area of expertise and willingness to be called about them. If you have a problem in their area then they are available to you as a sounding board. No charge!

And the #1 reason for joining the APCPA.....
Networking: Whether you are a one-person shop or in a large, local firm, you need someone on the outside to talk to. We are your "partner" offering our perspective and experience to your practice -- and we don't share a piece of your pie!
