Zinner & Co. works with TAG Foundation to Help Those Affected by Hurricane Harvey

As the Houston area was hit hard by Hurricane Harvey, the Zinner team decided to earmark their charity collection for several weeks to benefit Houston-area TIAG-member firms.  TIAG (The International Accounting Group), is a worldwide alliance of independent accounting and law firms with over 120 member firms based in 70 countries. Simultaneous to the Zinner collection, TIAG and its philanthropic division, the TAG Foundation, approved an immediate disbursement of $5000 to the Houston Food Bank in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey.

Our collection will continue throughout September; we welcome clients and the community to add to the humanitarian support and relief efforts. Click here to donate to the TAG Foundation.
