The MICPA is a student resource unlike any other, supporting those already on the path to becoming a CPA as well as those just beginning to explore what an accounting career can offer.

We’ve all seen the results of clients who self-prepare their taxes using that well-known tax software (no need to mention names) ... Accountants would never advise clients to prepare their own taxes, sell their own home or, if a business owner, to sell their business on their own.

The MICPA is comprised of dedicated professionals who are passionate about the accounting profession and its future.
