Colorado CPAs quietly but significantly shape the business landscape and contribute to the well-being of communities large and small across the state. Each year, the COCPA honors these Everyday Heroes and Heroines at its signature CPAs Make a Difference celebration, while also welcoming newly licensed Colorado CPAs to the accounting profession.

Welcoming the Future of the Profession
Beyond the numbers and financial statements, the accounting profession holds a unique position in society. CPAs not only ensure the financial health of businesses, but also serve their neighbors in countless ways. At each year's event, we celebrate the newest Colorado CPAs, welcoming these accomplished professionals to the profession.
