Professional Mentoring

Our membership is composed of some of the best accounting, business, and technological talent in the world. Together, we represent hundreds of thousands of years of professional experience. That vast experience must be passed on to the next generation of CPAs.

The MACPA Mentorship Program allows you to be a mentor or mentee, creating a valuable connection with a current or future CPA.

The future of our profession is in the hands of today’s students. Our diversity, equity, and inclusion work starts with them.

The Pipeline Initiative strives to make the CPA profession appealing and attainable to young people from every demographic in order to become a truly diverse profession.
