Haskell & White hosted our 9th Annual Nonprofit Conference, bringing together nonprofit leaders for a great morning of learning on the issues their organizations are facing today.

This year’s conference focused on practical strategies to help organizations navigate evolving challenges with confidence. From real-world nonprofit fraud case studies and right-sized cybersecurity approaches to risk and insurance issues and common accounting challenges, each session was designed to deliver actionable insights leaders can apply within their organizations.

Thank you to our team, Rick, Pat, Diane, David, Spencer, and guest speaker Mike Fitch of HUB International, for sharing your insights and expertise. A huge thank you to everyone who joined us in person and virtually! We’re honored to support the nonprofit organizations making a meaningful impact in our communities every day!

There’s only one weekend left to catch The Maltese Falcon before it closes on May 3, so if you’re looking for something different, this is worth adding to your plans.

Opening night at Laguna Playhouse did not disappoint.

This fast-paced, clever twist on a classic features five incredibly talented actors taking on more than 20 roles in a whirlwind of mystery, humor, and film noir flair. The live Foley artist is an incredible addition, bringing sound effects to life in real time and adding another layer of creativity to the performance. The timing, physical comedy, and sheer versatility on stage make this one especially fun to watch.

We’re proud to support Laguna Playhouse and the creativity they continue to bring to our community.

If you are expecting a tax refund this year, make sure your return includes direct deposit information.

The IRS stopped issuing most paper refund checks after September 30, 2025. Taxpayers whose returns were filed without bank account information may receive Notice CP53E, requesting they add direct deposit details through their IRS online account.

Those who do not respond within 30 days; the IRS will issue a paper check six weeks after the date the notice was issued.

If you expect a refund, keep an eye out for IRS correspondence and respond promptly if you receive a CP53E notice.

Opening Night at South Coast Repertory never disappoints, and God of Carnage was no exception.
The Haskell & White team had a fantastic evening filled with sharp dialogue, incredible performances, and great conversation with clients and friends. There’s something special about experiencing live theatre together.
Congratulations to SCR on staging two Tony Award-winning plays, God of Carnage and Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? Both productions run through March 21 — and yes, you can even see both in one day (we truly don’t know how the actors pull that off!).
We’re proud to continue supporting SCR and the arts in our community.
