CPE Beach Cluster Conference Micro Site

LEARNING IS BETTER AT THE BEACH

The CPE Beach Cluster is one of our favorite—and most diverse—events of the year, and we can assure you that the content will be of the same caliber you expect from NCACPA.

This special program is designed for CPAs and accounting professionals at all levels in both public accounting and business and industry. We have your favorite speakers lined up to deliver valuable content curated for all three tracks (Accounting & Auditing, Industry, and Tax). Each session is four-hours and you can create your own agenda by attending a mix of the session topics.

Four days of unparalleled content covering various topics to support CPAs and accounting professionals—choose from a total of 22 sessions. Earn up to 28 credit hours!

In keeping with the relaxed beach vibes, you will be able to select what sessions you want and when. This means, however, you’ll register for each session individually for this cluster.

Business class hotel rooms only steps from the ocean mean you get to learn a lot and relax a lot! Only steps away from the sand and the resort’s tiki bar, you’ll love all that Wrightsville Beach has to offer!

Our line-up of nationally renowned subject matter experts will answer the biggest questions you have, share the latest updates, and help solve the challenges you’re facing!

Thank you to our sponsors

Standing out to accounting professionals is a formidable challenge due to the constant demand for their attention. Our conference is a solution, drawing accounting professionals from across North Carolina into one venue for both professional growth and networking. It’s the perfect stage for your company to shine.
