Veteran Fast Launch Initiative 



The AICPA has joined forces with the Service Corps of Retired Executives (SCORE) in the Veteran Fast Launch Initiative  to connect veterans with CPAs across the country.  CPAs have an opportunity to volunteer and provide up to five hours of free financial advice to veterans on starting or growing their business.







CPAs 

  • To get involved in this program, veterans will first register through SCORE’s online application process.  SCORE will then provide each veteran with a link to the CPA Volunteer Directory. The veteran will have the option to select the CPA or CPA firm of their choice.  The veteran will make the initial contact to their selected CPA.
  • AICPA members have access to the Veteran Fast Launch Initiative Toolkit.  This toolkit includes a customizable guide for veteran clients, sample press release, and web sticker for CPAs to promote their volunteerism in their local communities.
  • Read more about this initiative in the initial press release, the Journal of Accountancy, and accountingWEB.
  • If you are interested in volunteering, email us at PCPS@aicpa.org.  Include “CPA Volunteer for Fast Launch” in the subject line.
  • Don’t forget to refer your small business clients to helpful resources at the SBA !

 Veterans 

  • Visit SCORE to register or for additional information regarding the services, scholarships, and free software available through this initiative.
  • Once your application is complete, review the CPA Volunteer Directory to find a CPA who best meets your needs.  Contact them to get started!
