CPAs on Boards

Thanks for taking the time to find out more about what you can do as a CPA!

The Florida Institute of Certified Public Accountants (FICPA) has undertaken a statewide approach to address the concerns of the nonprofit community by fostering partnerships with not-for-profits. A task force has been formed by the Society to identify, train, and match CPAs with nonprofit boards that are proactive in raising the level of financial integrity of their member boards. With a potential of hundreds of financial board members for nonprofit boards, the FICPA is a natural source to fill the need and enhance nonprofit governance.

As the federal government has begun to regulate publicly-held companies for the sake of effective self-governance, there is still a dire need today for nonprofit boards to include experts in financial matters, the latest federal regulations, and beyond. That’s where the FICPA membership comes into play -- as expert volunteers. Whether the nonprofit organizations are small or large, startups or well-established, our members provide the same invaluable technical assistance and the capable leadership to serve on Boards.

The FICPA has currently taken on the initiative of facilitating volunteers to serve on various Boards and provide technical assistance, courtesy of FICPA.org. Opportunities are abound to provide short-term guidance or a long-term commitment by helping to serve on a Board. What better way to give back to the community and build your professional expertise?
