Specialized Interest Memberships

The AICPA recognizes that most CPAs move into an accounting specialty area during their career. To address these unique subject areas, we have created specialized Sections, Credentials and Designations. These memberships are designed to help you grow in your particular practice niche such as tax, personal financial planning, forensic and valuation, information technology and management accounting. AICPA Section membership will keep you informed on what’s happening in your specialty area with practice aids, news, resource tools, guides, education materials and much more. If you’re ready to distinguish yourself from other CPAs in your field, develop your career with an AICPA Credential or Designation. Exclusively offered to AICPA regular members who qualify, these credentials and designations will communicate your role as a leader in your area of expertise to clients and employers. Haven’t decided what your specialty area will be? The AICPA is your one-stop destination to learn about the extensive array of resources available in your accounting field.
