Students today are the CPAs of tomorrow. They are the financial business leaders, consultants and advisors. But how will they know if a career in accounting is right for them?

 

The Ohio CPA Foundation inspires young people to find a rewarding career and a future as a CPA and has a lasting impact on the profession.  

Join us! We’d love to have you involved as a sponsor, program speaker or supporter of The Ohio CPA Foundation.  

Your participation is an investment in the future.  

Our Mission

To inspire and encourage individuals to become CPAs who embrace the core values of the accounting profession and serve the public interest.

 

 

Why is our work important?

The race to secure well-trained talent is intensifying. Evolving skill requirements, competition from STEM programs and an increase in Baby Boomer retirements are amplifying the need for dedicated resources to address these critical challenges, making the work of The Ohio CPA Foundation more important than ever. 

We urgently need to increase the number of individuals exploring careers in accounting.
