Accounting Industry Leadership Council
On the frontlines of a wide range of financial matters, CPAs often see the early warning signs of Alzheimer’s. With the Alzheimer’s Association, the most trusted source for accurate and up-to-date information on Alzheimer's and all other dementia, accountants can build a more holistic relationship with their clients by providing greatly needed support to their clients and family members in need."Walk to End Alzheimer’s has given our firm a nationwide cause that provides all employees an opportunity to truly make a difference and has also created a compelling and caring corporate culture."
