About Us

We build relationships and share insights that help members grow.

One step ahead since 1978.

Our industry is never static. Accountancy is broad, complex, and ever-evolving. From legal changes to shifts in client organizations, it can be hard for individual firms to find the time and resources to adapt.

We launched CPAmerica to make the complex simple. We provide you with a supportive association where members can share practical knowledge and insights. A place where you can access resources to help you expand services and react to changes as they happen.

Our in-house team runs world-class training, including our popular Visitation Improvement Program and webinars. We’re also part of Crowe Global, a world-leading network of accounting firms, so we’re able to offer members a regional and international perspective – resulting in better knowledge and greater opportunities.
