Destination CPA

The Next Generation of CPAs Begins with Today's Students

Over the past few years, MOCPA volunteer members have visited more than 3,100 students in 93 Missouri high school and middle school classrooms to discuss the benefits of an accounting career path, including stability, flexibility, a high income, with options to travel and give back to the public good!

Through MOCPA's Destination CPA program, CPAs from across the state visit classrooms (virtually or in person) to share with students the rewarding opportunities available in the accounting profession. Our CPA volunteer members speak with students about their career and educational paths, what an average workday is like, how they solve problems, what to expect in college, and more. Volunteers are provided with optional presentation materials and giveaways for your convenience. These fun, informative sessions can spark an interest in students to explore an accounting career. 

Get Started!
If you are a CPA who would like to tell students about the rewards of the profession, or if you're an educator interested in having a CPA speak with your students, we are happy to arrange a visit at any time that is convenient. If you have any questions, please contact Patti Woods at (800) 264-7966 or pwoods@mocpa.org.
