Young CPAs Building Bridges

The Cabinet is fully engaged in the community aspect of the profession. What community aspect? This year, the Cabinet will largely focus on financial literacy. Young CPAs are perfect for helping the general public in this area by explaining things like budgets, cash flow, savings, and debt management. To learn more about ways to participate, please contact Mark Soticheck, chair of the Community Service subcommittee, or staff member Lorrie Leonhardt.

Financial Literacy on the Gulf Coast

In November 2007, a team of our own young CPAs teamed up with a few young CPAs from Louisiana for the first-ever Gulf Coast service camp in New Orleans. There, they provided free consultations to small business owners throughout the city. Additionally, they hosted group seminars on starting a small business, QuickBooks, and general financial literacy. The trip was an amazing success story of what happens when CPAs apply their �ordinary� skills to achieve extraordinary objectives. Read more about the trip in this Interim Report article.

Now the first team has blazed a trail, and the path is ready for the next wave of pioneers. Responses have poured in from around the country, and multi-state teams formed for the 2008 projects:
