Accelerator Program
The Association of International Certified Professional Accountants (AICPA) and CPA.com are jointly sponsoring an initiative to accelerate the growth of early-stage companies that could have significant impact on the accounting profession. The goal is to promote innovation and give the profession early insight into disruptive technologies and services in finance and business.
The Association of International Certified Professional Accountants and CPA.com Startup Accelerator will look to support up to five early-stage companies over the next year. It will focus on startups in two key areas:
- Technology and Financial Information, which could include advances in artificial intelligence, automation of routine tasks, and the application of blockchain/digital ledgers
- Professional Competency Innovation, which can encompass machine learning to personalize professional education, collaboration tools for mentors and experts, and improvements in measuring professional competency, among other categories
