Classes for CPAs and business advisors

During May and June I will be teaching two classes which will qualify for Continuing Professional Education (CPE) credits for CPAs:  

• Sustainability for CPAs: What it means to you, your clients and the profession
• Advising the Startup Business

Both courses will qualify for 4 hours of CPE.  The classes will be offered in Portland and Lake Oswego.  The CPE sponsor is BrownBagCPE, a local group that provides live and affordable CPE in Oregon and SW Washington.

The feedback from the Sustainability Course has been outstanding.  Please contact me if you would like more information or have an interest in having this class taught in your area.

CPE class on sustainability for CPAs

I am proud to announce that I'll be teaching a Continuing Professional Education (CPE) class for CPAs entitled "Sustainability: What it means for the profession, you and your clients."

The class is scheduled in Vancouver, Washington on December 10th from 1-5pm. It will qualify for 4 hours of CPE credit.

This may be the first CPE class for CPAs to focus on sustainability and what it means for the profession and their clients. I'm currently working on the outline but here are some of the points I intend to cover:

** Get up to speed on sustainability and what it means for business
** Understand the business case for sustainability
** Get an Introduction to triple-bottom line accounting
** Discover the opportunities and risks in this rapidly emerging paradigm
** Discover resources to help your clients
** Look at evolving metrics
** Look at changing reporting requirements and initiatives
