The 2020 CPA Practice Advisor "40 Under 40" and "20 Under 40"

CPA Practice Advisor has announced the 2020 members of its “40 Under 40” and “20 Under 40 Top Influencers” programs.

The awards recognize 40 professionals who are under 40, and have emerged as future leaders in the profession, and 20 who are under 40 and leading the development of technology that serves the profession.

The 40 Under 40 Awards spotlight the top practicing public accountants, educators and thought leaders who are leading their profession by visibly and incrementally changing the accounting profession through their exemplary leadership, their innovative thinking, their collaborative efforts to provide unity to the profession across the generations, and their community outreach which extends the visibility of the profession outside the workplace.

The 20 Under 40 Vendor Superstars program similarly honors those who are leading the way in developing the constantly evolving technology and firm processes that allow practitioners to be more productive, efficient and profitable, as they build practices that will endure and thrive.

“There were more than three times the number of entries this year over past years, which speaks not just to the popularity of the program but the necessity of recognizing accomplishments and achievements of those who are leading the profession into the future,” said CPA Practice Advisor‘s editor-in-chief Gail Perry, CPA.

“This year in particular, we see a new level of strength and determination among those whose ideas and voices are shaping the directions we all are following. Across the board, every one of our entries represents someone who is not just thinking about the future but is stepping forward and making significant changes in the accounting profession itself and the way in which our profession is perceived.”

Nominations for the 2021 awards will open in March, 2021.
