Tax Deadline: 2nd Quarterly Estimated Tax Payment Due Today! cbriancpa.com/2025/06/16/t... #TaxSky

Given this weekend's activity, I thought a thread 🧵 about the Magna Carta and restrictions against the king is needed. Fun fact: I’m descended from one of the 25 barons who made sure King John signed it. 🧬📜🇬🇧🇺🇸

It's easy to blend in at conferences and show your poker face to the world. But we need visibility to show we're there. Subtle pins can send signals that we're here & are a welcome sign to others, even if they're not ready to be visible at these mega conferences like AICPA #Engage25.

It's nice to be home after a week in Vegas. The first task today was the local Farmer's Market.

Heading home from #Engage25 and feeling proud. 🌈 Our session on LGBTQ+ experiences in accounting went great—and yes, I brought my “Visibility Saves Lives” bag. I love the Southwest Rainbow Pride. Inclusion at 30,000 feet? Yes, please. ✈️🏳️‍🌈 #PrideMonth #LGBTQAccountants #VisibilityMatters #TaxSky

One of my top takeaways from #AICPA #Engage25 build blackout dates into your calendar! No extended return work between April 16 – July 15 so we can actually breathe during the “off-season.” 🧘‍♂️💼 Big thanks to @wifemomcpa100.bsky.social for the brilliant tip! 👏🏼 #TaxTwitter

Just some shenanigans from the Decades party at #AICPAEngage #Engage25

Cyber security and data breaches are scary topics. Some of these sessions make me want to go back to paper files 😂 Seriously, it's complicated, but we can manage it if we stay informed and updated on the newest threats and trends. #AICPAEngage #Engage25

Data Security is so important for tax pros. Ignoring the risks can be costly and time consuming for your business and clients. Experts like @sparklecate.bsky.social and Terry Lemons are giving great advice to prevent and respond to data breaches. #TaxTwitter #Engage25

Day 2 of AICPA #Engage25 with @sparklecate.bsky.social and Terry Lemons on Data Security and the IRS.

Oh man, Tony Nitti presented a session at AICPA #Engage25 this morning on the taxability of s corp distributions. I know it's nerdy, but it was the best presentation on this topic that I have seen. #TaxSky #TaxBS

🎉 Just added 8+ new resources to my “From Exclusion to Empowerment” presentation for #AICPAEngage attendees and allies! 🛠️ perfect if you're attending my panel discussion or just want to help build better DEI. 📚 Check it out 👉 lgbtq.accountants/empowerment-... #LGBTQCPA #PrideMonth #DEIinAccounting

If you're trying to call the IRS PPS, don't bother this morning. The agent I just spoke with said their systems are down for maintenance and she doesn't know when they're coming back online. She suggested this afternoon or tomorrow. #TaxSky

Hi #TaxSky friends! The AICPA #Engage25 conference is huge and we'll never find each other if we're not intentional about it. Let me know if you're here so we can meet up! 👋

The AICPA #Engage25 conference is of to a fun start!

Picking my schedule for next week's #AICPAEngage2025 was tough. There are so many great options to choose from.

I'm speaking at #AICPAEngage next week in Las Vegas 🌈 Our panel—From Exclusion to Empowerment—shares the real, lived experiences of LGBTQ+ accountants. Visibility matters. Empowerment matters. Come see why. 🗓️ Tues 6/10, 4pm PDT 🔗 lgbtq.accountants/aicpa-engage... #Pride2025 #PrideMonth #LGBTQCPA

Dang, Fort Worth, Dallas, and San Antonio beat us, but at least we beat Houston.

WTAF?

A Facebook post this morning really summed up how I've been feeling during this #Pride2025. Reflective, Angry, Determined, Hopeful You can read my blog entry at the post below. ⬇️

On Sunday, my friend, Jonathan Joss was murdered and it took me a minute to find the words... Like so many of our lives, Jonathan's existed at the powerful intersections of Indigeneity, queerness, visibility, and vulnerability. He was fierce, funny, flawed, and real in every way that mattered.

In conjunction with the Italian Festa Della Republica, the State of Texas celebrate Italian Heritage Day on June 2nd each year. #ItalianHeritage

🇮🇹 Buona Festa della Repubblica! 79 years ago Italy chose democracy and became a Republic. For Italians everywhere—at home and abroad—this day is a reminder of our values: freedom, unity, and civic pride. #FestaDellaRepubblica #ItalianHeritage #June2 #ItalianAmerican #RepublicDay #Italia
