Closing Thoughts for 2005
By Roman H. Kepczyk, CPA, CITP  (December 20, 2005)  

InfoTech Partners North America, Inc. has much to be thankful for as we approach our seventh anniversary. We would like to first thank all of our clients, as it is only because of people like you who are excited about making your firms better through the effective use of technology that we have continued to grow.  We hope that we were able to give you useful direction and information and wish you the best going into the 2006 busy season, which seems to end more in October than in April. 

Second, we are thankful for being included in some of the leading initiatives promoting technology within our industry. This year we were fortunate to once again be integrally involved in the AICPA's Top Technologies program.  Our participation allowed us to be on the forefront of evaluating and understanding what will be important to CPA firms in 2006, so expect to learn more about that in January.  We also completed our third and final year as Chairman of the AICPA's Information Technology Executive Committee.   Once again, we participated and presented at the AICPA TECH, AICPA Practitioners Symposium, Association for Accounting Administration National Conference, and Hudson Sawyer Management Summit, where real leading edge solutions are formulated and discussed amongst the top accounting firms in the country. 

Third, we are grateful for the recognition the industry has provided us in being included in the Accounting Today Most Influential 100 people for our sixth year straight.  Being recognized as an industry leader has allowed us to be included in rewarding projects such as contributing to PPC's Management of an Accounting Practice Handbook and being asked to update the AICPA's MAP Handbook chapter on Knowledge Management, which we feel will have a significant impact on CPA firms in the future.

Fourth, we are thankful for the adventures  and memories that 2005 provided us including completing a Half Ironman Triathlon, Whale watching from a Zodiac, sand castle building in San Diego, outstanding baseball and soccer Saturdays with the boys, and even more camping trips where we learned to to sing "Found a Peanut," "On Top of Spaghetti," and most importantly perfected the art of JiffyPop Popcorn over a camp fire without burning my arm off!

Finally, I am thankful for the friends I have made along the way, my wife Sylvie and our boys that have supported my efforts to make InfoTech Partners North America, Inc. one of the leading CPA Firm technology consulting firms in the country.  Having such friends and family makes it all worthwhile when I look back on all that we have accomplished in the past seven years, those items that I am able to do for you my clients today, and the opportunities I can dream about for all of us in the future.  Accordingly, we will be closing our offices through the New Year to spend time with family.  Have a wonderful Holiday Season.  We look forward to talking to you next year!
