Overview

The FICPA is proud to celebrate the newest entrants into the Certified Public Accounting (CPA) profession in Florida. We know how much time, talent, investment and sacrifice it takes to obtain a CPA license. But your hard work has paid off, and now it’s time to party.

The Newly Certified Ceremony begins at 5:30 p.m. on Monday, June 15, 2026, at Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress in Orlando and is part of our annual Chair’s Reception.

You will:
• Enjoy drinks and passed hors d'oeuvres.
• Meet with honored guests, including Department of Business & Professional Regulation Secretary Melanie Griffin, Board of Accountancy Chair Bill Benson, FICPA President & CEO Shelly Weir and FICPA Chair Karen Lake and Incoming Chair Amy Kistka.
• And be presented with a framed certificate welcoming you to the profession.

On the fence about coming? Don’t be! The first 40 newly licensed CPAs to register for this event will attend for free (registrants must have earned their certification in the state of Florida between June 2025-June 2026).

Guest tickets are $135.
