Within the firm, Slayton leads Excel training across all departments and has led new hire training for busy season in the tax department for several years.

With a deep interest in the real estate industry, Slayton began participating in the annual Georgia Society of Certified Public Accountants’ Real Estate Conference in 2021. As an active member of the conference’s task force, he is heavily involved in coordinating the events, speakers and topics of each year’s event.
