Last week, members of our team attended the annual IRS Nationwide conference in Chicago to hear directly from the IRS about what they are developing internally. The conference gives great insight into tax code changes, what the IRS is doing to provide additional support to taxpayers and tax preparers in processing their annual tax returns, and new best practices to use in both preparing and processing annual tax filings. After lots of learning, of course we had to catch a Cubs game before heading back to Houston!

Last month when Hurricane Beryl knocked out power for nearly 3 million Houstonians, The Houston Food Bank opened immediately to begin preparations for community relief. We are grateful our team was able to join the effort to help those impacted. Last week, our firm helped to prepare 7,500 meals for Houstonians in need.

Our office loves a little friendly competition! We split into 3 teams during our food drive to compete in a CAN-struction competition. Each team could use only the cans they brought in to build their best structure. Which is your favorite?!
