From a modest group of 20 to a vibrant community of over 12,000, the North Carolina Association of CPAs (NCACPA) has been championing the accounting profession for a century. Our commitment to excellence and service has propelled us forward, guided by our Board of Directors and the strategic vision of our committees and local groups.
At the heart of NCACPA is our mission to enhance the profession and the community it serves through advocacy, connections, education, and resources. We engage with key regulatory bodies to ensure our members are at the forefront of the accounting field, equipped with the latest insights and tools.
Our many Resource and Networking groups help drive our organization, volunteering their time to keep our members engaged, informed, and ahead. As we embrace the future, NCACPA remains dedicated to being a pivotal force in the accounting community, ensuring our members thrive in an ever-evolving profession.
OUR MEMBERS
We partner with our members on their CPA journey from the moment they choose this path as Student Members. Guiding them through the CPA exam and their studies with essential resources and celebrating their achievements is at the core of what we do. We take immense pride in the milestones our members reach, from becoming partners, CFOs, and CEOs, to assuming leadership roles within their organizations and the NCACPA community.
