AuditClub, the Audit Service Center for CPA firms and companies, has launched a new alliance model designed to connect tax and non-attest accountants with AuditClub One assurance professionals to improve service delivery options to clients.

“In the midst of an unprecedented talent shortage gripping our profession, private companies are struggling to find a trusted auditor and often turn to their tax or non-attest accounting firm for guidance,” says Brian Yujuico, vice president and senior chief auditor of AuditClub. “However, such firms who do not hold a CPA license cannot currently offer assurance or other attest services. AuditClub Ally solves for this constraint by leveraging an AuditClub One partner firm that can be called upon to provide such services to these clients.”

Introduced in early 2023, AuditClub One is a game-changing model designed to address the growing challenges faced by the CPA pipeline problem. AuditClub One offers CPAs an entirely new career path, enabling them to leverage their credentials more swiftly than in a traditional large firm and to enjoy the rewards of entrepreneurship without the risks and complexities of starting from scratch. CPAs who join AuditClub One benefit from a highly autonomous ability to build client relationships and manage delivery of assurance services, with a proven playbook and a path to achieve their own personal and professional goals in a faster and more fulfilling way.
