CEO Corner

Dear Hannah,

I'm thrilled to announce that we've made some recent changes to our Educational Foundation's Scholarship Program. Our strategy is to provide fewer scholarships in higher amounts, so that we can have a greater impact on the lives of these students as they pursue accounting degrees and the CPA designation. Click on the video below to learn more:
