CPA Practice Advisor is proud to sponsor the accounting profession's annual 40 Under 40 and 20 Under 40 recognition awards with the goal of honoring, following, and encouraging the future leaders of the profession as they forge a new direction. There are no costs associated with these awards or the nomination process.
Multiple nominations do not increase the chance for being selected. All nominees will be reviewed by our panel of judges, and the individuals may be contacted directly to provide additional information on their background and career. The selection of the 40 Under 40 honorees is made by the editorial staff and members of the CPA Practice Advisor community.
