Michelle and Kendra attended the NH Society of CPAs Annual Meeting and CPA Inauguration Reception on May 12th. It’s always a great opportunity to connect with fellow CPA firms across the state, welcome new CPAs to the profession, and reaffirm our commitment by retaking our oaths.

We also had the chance to celebrate Governor Ayotte’s signing of HB1259—legislation that marks a significant milestone for the CPA profession in New Hampshire by expanding pathways to licensure and enhancing interstate mobility. As co-chair of the NH Society of CPAs Tax and Legislative Committee, our very own Michelle McVetty, CPA, was part of the instrumental group of CPAs who helped make this happen!
