Leadership, learning, and a little time to connect outside the office.

Last week, members of the MRPR partner team attended CPAmerica’s 2026 Annual Practice Management Leadership Retreat in Atlanta. The event brought together accounting firm leaders from across the country to exchange ideas, discuss industry challenges and opportunities, and share strategies for building stronger firms.

We’re grateful to CPAmerica for creating opportunities like these to learn from our peers, strengthen relationships, and bring fresh perspectives back to our team and clients.
