Earlier this month, ICPAS staff attended the American Accounting Association's Two-Year Bridge Symposium, designed to support accounting students transitioning from two-year to four-year colleges. Thank you to Deloitte MADE for hosting and to our student panelists Abigail A., Maryam Khan, and Gregory Collins for their insights! #CPA

It was such a pleaseure joining students and colleagues at this year’s Two-Year Bridge symposium, here in New York (hosted by Deloitte and the American Accounting Association Foundation). As a former two-year college CFO, I admittedly have a soft spot for our students. Some of the most brilliant and hardworking students are at our two-year institutions. What a great day for the accounting profession! NYCPA - The New York State Society of CPAs #EverUpward

Help Wanted! See the volunteer request from #MACPA to engage with high school students this week.

TACTYC is a proud sponsor of the #TwoYearBridgeSymposium organized by the American Accounting Association and supported by CAQ, Deloitte, and PwC. This program gives students a chance to learn about the accounting profession and its impact on society. Students hear from other two-year transfer students, accounting professionals, and recent accounting graduates about their experiences. They also learn about the pathway and requirements to becoming a CPA. Thank you to all the TACTYC members and faculty that participated in the planning and execution of this program??

???? Today, I had the incredible opportunity to participate to the 2024 Two-Year Bridge Symposium supported by the Teachers of Accounting at Two-Year Colleges (TACTYC) and organized by the American Accounting Association with sponsorship from Deloitte , PwC and the Center for Audit Quality. The event, held at the PwC office in Salt Lake City, provided invaluable insights into accounting careers and the evolving landscape of our profession. We were privileged to hear from experienced professionals and an eloquent keynote speaker Kimberly N. Ellison-Taylor who shared her journey, challenges, and strategies for achieving career goals. A recurring theme was the importance of staying determined and leveraging the right resources to be prepared for the ever-changing global market. The symposium also emphasized the growing demand for skilled accountants and CPAs. As businesses continue to adapt to technological advancements like AI, it was inspiring to hear that accounting will always play a crucial role in driving strategic decision-making, ensuring financial integrity, and maintaining compliance. AI might enhance our tools, but the human expertise of accountants remains irreplaceable. ?? A special thank you to the Ensign College faculty members Jacob P. Sybrowsky, Ph.D & Brooke Linton, CPA and others who consistently support students in reaching their full potential. Your dedication to helping us seize opportunities and build strong networks is truly appreciated. ?? In today’s world, accounting professionals are more essential than ever in navigating complex financial environments, fostering sustainable business growth, and ensuring transparency. I am excited to continue developing my skills and contributing to the field as we face these evolving challenges together. Big thanks to Ryan Dent , Daniel Moncayo, Janet Rodriguez, Jim Andrus - SPHR,SHRM-SCP, Susan Speirs, CPA, CGMA and all others who made this event special. Thank you. #AccountingCareers #2024TwoYearBridgeSymposium #EnsignCollege #Networking #ProfessionalGrowth #FutureCPA #AIinAccounting #CareerDevelopment Thank You
