This week's CPA of Ohio is Jake Nix, CPA, President of RISC Point Advisory Group, Limited.

When did you know you wanted to be a CPA?

“Sophomore year of college is when I first declared as an accounting student. I had actually planned to go to law school but fell in love with the profession. Knowing early on the value of the CPA credential, I didn’t see any options other than sitting for it as an accounting professional.  It exhibits your commitment to the profession and serving your clients."

Is there any life advice someone's given you that really resonated?

"Above all else, follow your passion."

What has been the highlight of your career?

“Seeing those I’ve had the privilege of mentoring succeed.”
