As a Beta Alpha Psi Professional Partner representing the Association of International Certified Professional Accountants (AICPA & CIMA), I am fortunate to interact with highly accomplished students who are poised to become leaders in the accounting and financial services industry. I envision many of them taking on strategic roles with macroeconomic influence. Supporting their academic and professional growth with AICPA & CIMA resources is an incredibly rewarding experience.
