Letter from the
Chair A
s an audit partner at CohnReznick, I see firsthand the strain that our talent shortage places on firms across the accounting landscape. But this issue is not ours alone. CPAs play a vital role in the larger business community, and a shortage of practitioners has downstream impacts on clients – large and small – who turn to us for high-quality financial reporting and rigorous tax compliance. As Chair of the FICPA Scholarship Foundation, I’ve personally met with students across the state who are passionate about accounting but who face financial hurdles in meeting the requirements for licensure. It’s our Foundation that helps bridge the gap. We support today’s accounting students so that they can become tomorrow’s CPAs.
Steven Morrison 2023-24 CHAIR FICPA SCHOLARSHIP
“I encourage you to play a role in restocking the talent pipeline. Attend our events. Become a sponsor. Send your best recruiters. Helps us help you.”
But our work is only possible with your support. We rely on your generosity, through donations and sponsorships, to award our scholarship funds. FICPA Scholarship Foundation events not only serve as fundraisers but also as valuable networking opportunities. We connect CPA firms with hard-working, motivated and promising recruits, who have already demonstrated their ability to overcome adversity and achieve their goals. If you’re already one of our benefactors, I thank you for your continued support. And if you’re looking to get involved, I encourage you to play a role in restocking the talent pipeline. Attend our events. Become a sponsor. Send your best recruiters. Help us help you. CPAs serve the public interest and function as the backbone of business. It’s up to all of us to support the next generation and secure the future of our profession. Appreciatively,
Steven Morrison 2023-24 Chair, FICPA Scholarship Foundation

“At first, I wanted to be a surgeon, before soon discovering my love for accounting. I was fortunate that my football and track skills helped me obtain funds for school, but it wasn’t enough. Thanks to my FICPA Scholarship, I am now a graduate with a bachelor’s degree in accounting and finance. My parents came to this country 20 years ago, and I am proud to be the product of their hard work and sacrifice.“
