Huge thank you to Michelle Weinstein for featuring our Founder and President, Dominique Molina, on the Abundant Accountant podcast.

In this episode, Dominique discusses a challenge many firm owners are facing: how to avoid competing on price in a market where automation and low-cost tax solutions are becoming more common.

Instead of racing to the bottom, Dominique shares why the future belongs to tax professionals who lead with depth, trust, and measurable value. She explores how firm owners can move beyond high-volume, low-margin work and build a practice rooted in strategic advisory and premium service.

At our most recent Academy, we had the pleasure of welcoming back Louise Cochrane, a wonderful member of our community and a familiar face at AICTP.

One of the best parts of being an AICTP member is that you can return as a Refresh and continue learning, growing, and reconnecting with the community. We caught up with Louise for a quick mini mic interview to hear her favorite part of CTC.
