How can I renew my membership?
To renew online, please login to your account and select the “My Profile” option on the lefthand navigation bar. Click on the yellow “renew” button under membership. You may also select the “Memberships” option on the lefthand navigation bar and “Renew” from the dropdown. Both options will take you to the renewal wizard to walk you through the process of renewing your membership. If you encounter any issues with your renewal, please contact Solutions Support for assistance.
To renew by phone, please call Solutions Support at 800-469-1352.
To renew by mail, please send a check to our secure bank lockbox in Atlanta at the address: NCACPA, PO Box 538464, Atlanta, GA 30353-8464.
I don’t see a renew button in my account. What happened?
If you do not have a “renew” button on your account profile, your membership has most likely lapsed meaning that you did not have a membership in the 2025-26 year. It is important you do not create a new account or attempt to join as a new member. Please call Solutions Support at 800-469-1352.
What are the membership rates?
What is the membership term?
Based on NCACPA’s fiscal year, our membership runs from May 1 to April 30 no matter what date you join. We do not prorate dues under any circumstance.
Why do rates increase per membership category?
Rates increase after the first year of membership as a means to make it economically feasible for those starting their careers. NCACPA spreads the cost across the membership categories based on the number of years in the workforce, with the highest amount capping out at 5 years of certification.

The Renewal Wizard is not providing the correct membership type. How can I change this?
Please reach out the Solutions Support at 800-469-1352 and a member of our team will assist you with this issue.
What happens when my membership lapses?
When your membership has not been paid by the grace period May 31 (1 month after the membership due date of May 1), your membership benefits are automatically turned off. This means you will not have access to Connect, CPE discounts, affinity program discounts, NCACPA Interim Report, etc. until you re-join NCACPA.
If your membership has lapsed and you would like to re-join, please do not create a new record or attempt to join as a new member. Please call Solutions Support at 800-469-1352 and a member of our team will be happy to assist you.
How do I update my NCACPA membership profile?
Login to your account and select the corresponding tab (My Personal Info, My Contact Info, My Organizations) to update. We recommend updating your information annually when you renew your license with the State Board.
What is the membership cancellation policy?
You may cancel your membership at any time, however, membership dues that have already paid are non-refundable. CPE programs and social networking events have separate cancellation fees and policies. Please see our General Info & Policies page for more information.
How much do I save on CPE with membership?
Members of the association generally save up to $100 per 8-hour event. Visit this page for more information on the pricing structure.
If I go inactive with my CPA license, can I still keep my membership with NCACPA?
Yes, if you are not actively licensed in NC or another state you would qualify for our Associate Membership. Once we receive notice from you or the NC State Board, we will update your membership accordingly for the current year or next year’s renewal.
I am not currently practicing as a CPA, but am still active with my NC CPA license. Which membership category would I be eligible for?
If you are still licensed, you’ll fall under our CPA Member category. Dues are based on how long you’ve been licensed:
CPAs licensed less than 5 years will pay $275
CPAs licensed 5 or more years will pay $340
These rates are based on the 2026-2027 membership term (May 1, 2026–April 30, 2027).
I’m an NCACPA Associate member and I’m inactive with my NC CPA license. If I decide to reactivate my license in the future, what do I have to do?
You would need to complete the “Reinstatement of NC CPA Certificate from Inactive Status Application Package” and submit it to the NC State Board of CPA Examiners. Please visit the NC State Board’s website for all information regarding CPA licensing. Upon the NC State Board’s approval of your reinstatement, NCACPA will update your membership renewal type back to CPA member.
I have the life insurance policy through The Prudential Insurance Company of America with AICPA. If I go inactive with my NC CPA license and cancel my membership with NCACPA will that put my life insurance policy in jeopardy?
Your life insurance policy through The Prudential Insurance Company of America does not require that you be licensed in order to remain eligible for the policy. It does, however, have eligibility rules regarding membership: AICPA, State Society members or other qualifying organization and age. Visit AICPA’s website for more information.
