Galíndez LLC proudly recognizes CPA Taireli Hidalgo for her participation as a featured panelist at “Simposio: La Contabilidad en la Era de la IA,” held on October 17, 2026, at Universidad Ana G. Méndez in Gurabo, Puerto Rico.
Organized by the Comité de Capítulos Universitarios (CCU), the symposium brought together accounting professionals, industry representatives, and university students to explore how artificial intelligence is influencing the accounting profession and shaping the career opportunities available to future CPAs.
