Teamwork, Culture, and Cricket: A Memorable Trip to Hyderabad! What an incredible adventure! Adam Rasmussen, CPA, F. Paul Maloney III, CPA/ABV, CFP®, and Justin Jenks, CPA recently had the exciting opportunity to head to Hyderabad, India, where they joined our Ascend partners and SENTIENT - An Ascend Company leadership for an unforgettable trip. Filled with rich cultural experiences, team-building activities, and lots of fun, it was a journey that strengthened relationships and created lasting memories! Here are a few highlights: ·        Watched David Wurtzbacher cut the ribbon on Sentient’s new office in a prime financial district. ·        Collaborated in focus groups with Sentient & Ascend leadership to strengthen our team for the 2025 tax season. ·        Learned about India’s rich culture from Sentient’s country leader, Giridhar Rajagopal. ·        Hit the dance floor with the Sentient crew (they’ve got moves!) ·        Enjoyed a unique dinner with floating gold in our water and a river running through the restaurant. ·        Watched Paul and David show off their cricket skills while the rest of us raced go-karts and even tried a human slingshot—an exhilarating (and slightly wild) experience! The biggest takeaway? Sentient's team is passionate, dedicated, and ready to make the 2025 tax season the best one yet! We’re lucky to have them on our side! #TeamBuilding #GlobalTeam #Sentient #Ascend #TaxSeason2025 #IndiaTrip #Partnership #OpsahlDawson
