Today marks 11 years since the State of Georgia granted me a CPA license. It’s been a journey of growth, challenges, and incredible achievements. The CPA license was first established in 1896, but it wasn’t until 1921 that John Cromwell Jr. became the first Black CPA when he was licensed in New Hampshire. The trailblazing continued in 1943 when Mary T. Washington Wylie became the first Black woman CPA when she was licensed in Illinois. Despite these historic milestones, we still face significant disparities. Over 100 years after the first Black CPA was licensed, only 2% of CPAs are Black, as noted in an AICPA report from 2021. This stark statistic underscores the urgent need for greater diversity and inclusion within our profession. As we celebrate these pioneers and acknowledge the progress made, let’s also commit to fostering an environment that supports and encourages more Black accountants to pursue and attain their CPA licenses. I’m proud of my journey and the path I’m paving for future generations. Here’s to continuing to break barriers and build a more inclusive future for the accounting profession. #BlackCPA #DiversityInAccounting #InclusionMatters #Trailblazers #Accounting #Finance #Leadership #BlackExcellence #Mentorship #Community

Those that have recently left the profession and those currently working to determine what factors are most critical for accounting firms to consider when keeping top talent.
