MACPA

As the leading professional association for certified public accountants in Maryland, we are dedicated to advancing the accounting profession through comprehensive education, legislative advocacy, and robust networking opportunities. Founded in 1904, our organization has consistently provided Maryland's accounting and finance professionals with the resources necessary to excel in a dynamic industry. Our mission focuses on three core pillars: connecting professionals through community-building initiatives, protecting the profession through legislative advocacy, and achieving career growth through cutting-edge educational programs. With a team of experienced industry experts and a network of preferred providers, we deliver hundreds of continuing professional education (CPE) courses annually, including specialized programs in emerging fields like cybersecurity and artificial intelligence. Our commitment to professional excellence is demonstrated through our certificate programs developed in partnership with the AICPA and IMA, our annual CPA Day advocacy event, and our innovative Future-Proof Podcast series.

We maintain rigorous standards of professional conduct while adapting to industry changes through our #FutureReady initiatives that prepare members for technological advancements. Our organization's leadership includes seasoned CPAs and industry-recognized professionals who bring decades of combined experience in accounting, finance, and professional development. Through our MACPA Connect platform, we foster knowledge sharing and collaboration among members while providing exclusive resources like Statement magazine and the MACPA Weekly e-newsletter. Our advocacy efforts ensure the profession's interests are represented in Annapolis and beyond, while our scholarship programs support the next generation of accounting professionals. With a focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion, we work to create a more representative profession that reflects Maryland's business community.
