“CPAmerica is truly a place of collaboration and camaraderie. We enjoy each other and the culture is one of belonging – I can be my authentic self and I am respected and encouraged to bring new and fresh ideas. Our staff works extremely hard towards a common goal, but we still have the flexibility to experience work-life integration, which is extremely important to me.”
