Presidents Message

 I want to remind you of some of the ways CalCPA serves our community. Needless to say, it is our member volunteers—who selflessly give their time and energy—that make these programs work.
You probably are familiar with the volunteer tax assistance programs we provide for low-income individuals. This is a valuable service to many families and individuals who need help maximizing tax-savings opportunities and credits they don’t fully understand and may not even be aware of. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Lanyce Mills at lmills@williamsribb.com.
