While there are some amazing accountants out there that are not CPAs, a CPA is a licensed professional that has to meet certain professional and educational standards to maintain that license. The AICPA and other agencies that manage the licensing established guidelines to protect you, the client. The goal is to provide you with the confidence that your CPA has the knowledge, experience, and ethics to give you the best quality work possible.
