Month: March 2018

March 11th, 2018: The Accountant-Lawyer Alliance (ALA) is excited to announce the re-launch of its membership association platform. A membership in the ALA will provide unlimited live webinars, which include CPE & CLE Credits, a Speakers Bureau, practice development resources and much more. “We are unaware of any member association that includes unlimited live webinar CPE & CLE credits as part of membership, but that is only a small portion of the value we bring our members. We have many exciting things planned for the community beyond this. This is just the beginning,” said Dennis McGovern, COO of the Accountant Lawyer Alliance.

There will be three levels of membership:

Student: for college students to get engaged in additional learning, networking, and test preparation

Professional: for the accounting or legal professionals who don’t have mandatory continuing education requirements

CPA–Attorney: for the CPA/Attorney audience, which requires CPE and CLE

About the Accountant Lawyer Alliance (ALA):

The Accountant-Lawyer Alliance (ALA) community exists to facilitate collaboration between accountants and legal professionals so that they can enhance their businesses and add to the quality of service received by the public and their business clients. We want to be the main resource for accounting and legal professionals to connect, learn, and grow their practices.  This means that we need to approach networking like the chamber of commerce; we need to approach education like universities; and we need to embrace technology like the most innovative firms.  All the while, we will strive to be the organization that truly minimizes bureaucracy and maximizes member value.

March 10^th, 2018: The Accountant-Lawyer Alliance (ALA) is happy to announce that as part of its 2018 charitable giving and support initiatives, it has donated $200 to Dennis McGovern’s charity of choice. “One of our member benefits is giving our stakeholders a choice in who we support. In this case, our COO, Dennis McGovern, represented the ALA in the annual Disney run. We provided a gift for each mile that Dennis completed. We then gave the Dennis the power to direct those funds and Dennis selected the Children’s Miracle Network. We thank Dennis for all the hard work and are happy to provide support for this valuable program”, said CEO William Kline.

March 8th, 2018: We are excited to announce that ALA founder, Peter Roland, CPA, has transferred ownership of the Accountant-Lawyer Alliance (ALA) to William (Bill) Kline, Ph.D., CFA and Dennis McGovern. Mr. Kline has extensive experience in consulting and training, while Mr. McGovern has extensive experience in entrepreneurship and software system implementation and design. Together, their skills bode well for an organization with a vision focused on collaboration, innovation, and education.

With a new management team at the helm, the ALA will have a renewed focus on the development of the ALA membership association. The relaunch of the ALA membership association brings a plethora of new benefits beyond those already enjoyed by the ALAs LinkedIn community, which consists of 125,000 professionals worldwide. “Peter did the hard work. Drawing on 30+ years of experience as an accountant and entrepreneur, he identified a limitation in many accounting and legal practices: a lack of collaboration amongst accounting and legal professionals.  Now it is up to Dennis and I to build a team that delivers an even stronger value proposition for accounting and legal professionals and the broader community. It is an exciting opportunity”, said Bill Kline.

In the coming months, the ALA will be rolling out a host of free member benefits such as unlimited live CPE/CLE webinars, networking events, on-demand resources, and a speaker bureau, to name a few.
