“Black Tax Fest isn’t just a conference, it’s a movement. We’re bringing together tax professionals, entrepreneurs, and financial leaders from across the country to share strategies, unlock new opportunities, and build partnerships that will shape the future of our industry. Atlanta is the perfect backdrop, because this is where culture connects with business, and nobody leaves this event the same. If you’re serious about growing your business and doubling your impact, this is the room you need to be in.” said Mowbray & Cherina Rowand, (Co-founders of ONE Stop Taxes & Black Tax Fest).
