Spring 2024 News & Updates
Herman Lazzara
Managing Partner
Now that the 2024 tax season has come to a close, we're taking a collective breath. These past few months have been filled not only with tax, audit and other accounting work but also with an array of impactful social events around the Tampa Bay area. You'll notice our photo album of recent events below is undoubtedly larger than usual! And so, we take this moment to pause, recharge, and realign with ourselves.

Amidst the hustle and bustle of busy season, we recognize the importance of prioritizing self-care and relaxation. Whether it's relishing a quiet evening at home, spending time outdoors, embarking on a well-deserved getaway, or simply reviving a long-forgotten hobby, we should all make time to rejuvenate our minds and bodies.

As we embark on this time of self-care, we extend our gratitude to our families and friends who have helped to support us along the way. Together, we've navigated challenges and celebrated successes this quarter. Let's embrace the moment and gear up for an exciting year ahead!
