The Accounting Careers Leadership Academy (ACLA)

The Accounting Careers Leadership Academy is an all-expenses paid conference that seeks to engage college students from traditionally underrepresented populations in the accounting careers pipeline. The event aims to strengthen professional skills and highlight the limitless possibilities of a career as a CPA.

ACLA is specifically designed to increase the number of underrepresented CPAs and accounting professionals, including, but not limited to those who identify as: having a disability, LGBTQ, veterans, first-generation, and people of color.
