Free Tax Materials Exclusively for PCPS Members

Because so many PCPS member firms have strong tax practices, PCPS has partnered with the AICPA Tax Section to offer our members free resources and tools that would otherwise cost hundreds of dollars. PCPS member firms can download the 2003 Tax Practice Guides and Checklists package, tax section practice management forms, engagement letters, the Statements on Standards for Tax Practice, and various topical practice guides. All of the content is available FREE from the "Members Only" section of www.pcps.org.

Unsure how to log in to the "Members Only" section? Call the Web Support Team at 1-877-777-7077 then select Option #3 for assistance. Do it today: This offer ends on July 15!

Third Annual PCPS/TSCPA National MAP Survey Launches

Watch your e-mail inbox for your invitation to participate in the 2004 PCPS/TSCPA National MAP Survey. This invaluable tool will allow your firm to benchmark management policies and financial results against other firms while gaining strategic guidance to build a more profitable and rewarding practice.

PCPS members who participate in the survey will receive a FREE interactive results report that allows you to compare data tailored to your firm size, specialty and region. However, if your firm does not participate, you will only be able to access national data. There is no cost to participate in the survey and all survey results are available FREE to PCPS members. Non PCPS members can join for $35 per CPA in the firm (up to a maximum of $700) to take advantage of this member benefit. Alternatively, non-PCPS members can purchase reports for $300 with a $100 discount to respondents and an additional $100 discount for AICPA members.

Look for your email invitation, and access the survey by clicking on the link provided. The PCPS/TSCPA National MAP Survey is one more way that PCPS is working to make you and your firm successful.
