The Pace University SBDC and CPAs from the New York State Society of CPAs partnered to offer a CPA Accounting Clinic for New York State small businesses. Through this effort coordinated by the Pace SBDC, CPA volunteers met one-to-one with NYSBDC small business clients statewide to review specific accounting questions related to their small businesses. These virtual sessions addressed questions in areas such as tax filing responsibilities and tax minimization strategies, providing much-needed industry expertise to complement the free one-to-one counseling services offered by NYSBDC Business Advisors.

Lots of clients joined the Pace SBDC’s Business Advisors for a no-cost, two-hour “website workday” at the Thomas Yoseloff Business Center at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Library at 455 Fifth Avenue in midtown Manhattan.

Whether participants had an existing small business website or wanted to launch one, the workshop was an opportunity to build or improve the site with business advisors available to answer questions and provide 1:1 assistance. All platforms and skill levels were welcome. Participants brought their ideas and challenges, and together they worked on their websites.
