Certified Public Accountant (CPA)
Accounting & Bookkeeping Glossary
Definition
A CPA is a licensed accounting professional who has passed the CPA exam and met state-specific education and experience requirements. CPAs handle tax preparation, audits, and strategic financial advice. Your bookkeeper and your CPA should work as a team — your bookkeeper keeps the records clean, and your CPA uses those records for tax strategy.
