About the CPA
CPA stands for Certified Public Accountant.
​
Trusted financial advisor who helps individuals, businesses, and other organizations plan and reach their financial goals
The designation is the statutory title of qualified accountants in the United States who have passed the Uniform Certified Public Accountant Examination and have met additional state education and experience requirements for certification as a CPA. The Uniform CPA Exam is set by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) and administered by the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA). Generally, in most U.S. states, only CPAs who are licensed are able to provide public attestation (including auditing) opinions on financial statements.
All CPAs are accountants, but not all accountants are CPAs
