Who We Are
CPAmerica International is committed to helping our members acquire the best recruits, grow their firms and
help their leaders to rise above the rest.
As a member of Crowe Horwath International, CPAmerica is one of the largest associations of independently
owned and managed CPA and consulting firms in the world based on annual revenue of member firms.
Together, the combined annual revenue of CPAmerica and Crowe Horwath International firms is nearly $3.5
billion. In the U.S., CPAmerica is made up of 75 firms and nearly 200 firms in CPAConnect representing annual
revenues in excess of $700 million.
As an accounting association, CPAmerica provides member firms resources to achieve their goals based on
our foundation “Improving through Sharing.” Because our member firms have agreed not to compete with
each other, they continually share documents, knowledge and ideas, enabling them to be successful in
retaining and attracting clients.
With a rich history of over 35 years in the profession, CPAmerica has made its mark among member firms.
Sixteen firms have been with the association for more than 25 years. As a member-driven association, firms
are actively engaged in association events and networking activities.
CPAmerica members form a tight-knit community that meet several times throughout the year to share
knowledge, network and learn from nationally acclaimed speakers.
