CPA CONTINUING EDUCATION

Rivers Insurance Group offers continuing education to Certified Public Accounts wishing to learn more about the insurance industry, allowing them to better serve their clients and help satisfy state mandates on continuing education requirements. Participants who complete one of a multiple of two-hour programs will earn two continuing education units (CEUs). Programs are available on-site.

Having started his career in public accounting and earned his CPA, Rivers Insurance founder Harvey Topitz understands the need for CPAs to remain current with the many complexities of insurance in order to fully support business clients. As a fully-licensed insurance broker with nearly 30 years experience in the property casualty arena, he has the cross-industry knowledge to help accountants broaden their expertise and increase the value of the services they provide their clients.
