There’s no doubt 2020 has been a challenging year for every one of us. 

And Thanksgiving is the time for all of us to focus on the things we’ve been blessed with. That way, all the bad things that happened would only seem a lot smaller. 

To start off, our team at The Bottom Line CPA, ProfitHERO™, and DigiTax Pro™, would like to share with you the things we’re grateful for in 2020 – both in our personal life and our career, as well as our favorite holiday tradition. 

We also would like to take this opportunity to thank our clients – past, present, and future – because the team that says thank you wins!
