***Barry Melancon and CEO of Public Accounting Sue Coffey, CPA, CGMA, discuss the evolution of the profession, its successes, and new opportunities for the future.***

In the last three years, the world has transformed. Yet your role as a trusted adviser remains. Accounting and finance professionals are the problem-solvers and confidence-builders for their clients, organizations, and communities.

Our role hasn’t changed either.

At AICPA Council this week, we discussed the many ways our members continue to lead, shape, inspire, and mold the future. Members like you are driving innovation, adopting new and emerging technologies, adapting your talents and skills, and guiding the next generation of professionals.

Our focus remains providing you with the support and tools needed to help you navigate through the disruption. We continue working toward the goals of reimagining the profession and looking toward the future to extend your success into 2023 and beyond.

Together, we advance the profession and deliver on our purpose of driving trust, opportunity, and prosperity. And together, we can accomplish more than we can alone.

Thank you for continuing to lead the profession forward.

Sincerely,

Barry Melancon, CPA, CGMA
President & CEO, American Institute of CPAs
