📢 We Need Your Voice: Help Shape the Future of CPA Licensure!   The accounting profession is facing a critical challenge: fewer CPA candidates and accounting graduates. NCACPA is working to address this issue by exploring alternative pathways to CPA licensure, and your input is essential.   So far, over 400 NCACPA members have taken the survey, and 80% support an alternative pathway that includes a bachelor’s degree with an accounting concentration, two years of experience, and passing the CPA exam.   But we’re not done yet—we need to hear from you! Your feedback will directly shape NCACPA’s position and influence future policy solutions.   🎥 Watch a short video from Director of Advocacy Robert Broome, CAE, to learn more about this critical issue. 📋 Take 5 minutes today to complete the survey and help us create meaningful change for the profession. 👉 Watch the video and take the survey here: http://ncacpa.org/pathways

This Veteran’s Day, NCACPA proudly recognizes all veterans, including the men and women in the accounting community who have served or are currently serving our country. We thank you for your service, sacrifice, and dedication. Gene Pursifull, CPA, CGFM, EA is a proud veteran and shared the following reflection with us: "Transitioning from the military to a civilian career, I’m grateful to be part of a collaborative community where accounting professionals support one another beyond firm boundaries. Veterans Day reminds me of that camaraderie and the pride we share in standing together, especially in support of the next generation of Service Members who continue protecting our country.” Wishing all veterans in our community a meaningful and well-deserved Veteran’s Day! 🎖️

For those of you who may not check LinkedIn on the weekend, November 10th was Interational Accounting Day (I'm still trying to find the requisite card at Hallmark). Our profession is both local and global, requiring a cadre of skillsets needed to properly serve clients and organizations in this fast changing environment. Please join me in donating to the NC CPA Foundation to support the future of OUR profession! #CPAProud
