CPAConnect

CPAConnect is a member sharing alliance, completely different form state CPA societies or other similar organizations. It focuses primarily on practice development issues and firm growth and profitability, offering a wealth of professional resources every growing firm needs.

CPAConnect members share best practices and have access to regional, national and international resources to assist their clients. CPAConnect members offer their clients the best of both worlds: the professional attention of a local firm with the knowledge and resources of a national firm.
