A certified public accountant (CPA) is a designation given by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) to individuals that pass the Uniform CPA Examination and meet the education and experience requirements. They provide individuals and families with valuable knowledge and advice on taxes and financial planning. To earn the CPA license, accounting professionals must have extensive education—at least 150 hours—pass a rigorous four-part exam and meet experience requirements. The CPA designation means more than Accountants, more than Enrolled Agents, and is the highest level in the accounting profession. CPAs must also commit to lifelong learning and adhere to a strict Code of Professional Conduct that requires competence, objectivity, integrity and independence.
