You Made Partner: Now What?
AWSCPA Member Jodie Hewitson Featured in the Journal Of Accountancy 

 

Learning to delegate is a necessary skill, said Jodie Hewitson, CPA, who has been a tax partner at Tanner LLC in Salt Lake City for three years. "We like to think we're all superhuman and that we can do everything ourselves," she said. "But when you're given new responsibilities on top of your old ones, you realize you have to hand a lot of your old duties over to others."

Regional Members
In order to better serve our members, we are now all regional members. If you would like to host or organize CPE, networking, or social events in your region or hometown, please contact us at info@awscpa.org.
