Advocacy

 

The Virginia Society of CPAs exists to help CPAs thrive. This is at the heart of everything we do, especially advocacy.

We’ve created task forces and committees to better understand and solve problems unique to CPAs, problems like an additional pathway to licensure which we passed in 2025We then leverage our membership network through VoterVoice while working with legislators to make changes at the state government level that protect your CPA license and business. Learn more about what issues we're talking and what stances we're taking through our advocacy page.

While legislation is important, it’s only one part of advocacy. Problems CPAs encounter are dynamic and require dynamic solutions, which is why we created programs like CPAs in the classroom to help students get excited about accounting and offer scholarships for minority students who are under-represented in the profession.

With your membership fee, we're ensuring a bright future for accountants. Thank you for empowering us to work for you!
