How much can I save?
As a SCACPA member, you gain an extension of your team. With SCACPA in your corner, you gain a team of advocacy professionals, a marketing engine, recruitment specialists, unlimited access to education, and more.
All told, SCACPA’s savings come out to thousands more than what you would spend on each of these line items individually. A dedicated lobbyist alone would cost a firm $75,000, and that doesn’t account for the strength of the 4,000 voices behind it!
Advocacy-Protecting the Profession
SCACPA is the only organization looking out for the CPA profession in South Carolina. Who better than your association to protect and promote the CPA Profession? This year we’ve expanded our advocacy efforts.
Along with federal tax conformity, we are actively monitoring state tax reform, sales tax on tax preparation services, occupational licensing reform, two separate audit rotation bills, and new financial literacy programs.
With the help of our Chapters we’ve created more personal interaction with legislators via legislative social events, and we’ve also enhanced our relationship tracking with updated software.
When hot button issues arise, or you need information quickly, you can be assured that SCACPA has you covered. At the onset of the COVID-19 crisis, SCACPA lobbied to have CPAs declared as essential businesses so members could continue to work and serve clients all over South Carolina.
In 2019, SCACPA started the #WhyCPA campaign to promote the value of CPAs to local business owners and individuals. So far, the campaign received more than 20,000 impressions, and the campaign will continue to thrive.
A Brighter Future
SCACPA’s support of the future of the profession is unwavering. SCACPA strives to engage the best and brightest professionals to ensure the CPA remains the gold standard among financial professionals.
Everyone wins when professionals and students get together. At the 2021 Fall Fest, a select group of attendees had the opportunity to eat lunch and directly access future professionals.
Members’ support of the Educational Fund fuels SCACPA’s Scholarship Program. Last year, SCACPA awarded more than $90,000, and we are on track to increase that number this year.
