The FICPA mourns the loss of James R. Kaufman. Jim was one of the true titans of South Florida accounting, and his leadership lives on both in the firm and the profession at large. We extend our condolences to his family and the entire Kaufman Rossin team. kaufmanrossin.com/blog/a-tri…

The FICPA celebrates the graduates of our 2023-24 Leadership Academy, a selective, high-impact program for #CPAs age 35 and under looking to take the next step in their profession development. These 25 Young CPAs comprise the academy’s third-annual class: bit.ly/3Sol3O7
