With SCACPA on your team, you gain:
- A contingent of advocacy professionals
- A powerful marketing engine
- Recruitment specialists
- Unlimited access to competence-driven education
- And much more
SCACPA’s savings amount to thousands more than what you would spend on each of these services individually. For instance, a dedicated lobbyist could cost a firm more than $75,000 annually, not accounting for the strength of more than 4,000 CPA voices.

Advocate – Protecting the Profession
SCACPA is the only organization looking out for the CPA profession in South Carolina. Who better than your association to protect and promote the CPA Profession?
SCACPA develops and maintains relationships with state and federal legislators so they understand how bills will impact the CPA profession and the business community. We are an ever-present voice at the State House during the legislative session, and members of our Legislator Connections Community communicate with elected officials throughout the year.
Thanks to the tireless work of our volunteers, SCACPA is well known at the State House and among regulatory bodies like the South Carolina Department of Revenue and the State Board of Accountancy. This enables SCACPA to influence bills and regulations that could impact the profession.
When hot-button issues arise or you need information quickly, rest assured that SCACPA has you covered.
Advocacy extends beyond congressional chambers. We realize the importance of advocating value to member clients and the business community. That’s why SCACPA started the #WhyCPA campaign – to promote the value of CPAs to local business owners and individuals.
