Dear Hannah,
The Society’s Firm
Sponsored Membership (FSM) Program is the
best way for firms with 10 or more staff to invest in the
profession and the future of their firms. Enrollment in the FSM
Program means that all certified and non-certified
client-facing staff are MassCPAs members, and as our membership
grows, so does our ability to represent you and the CPA
profession in Massachusetts to legislators, educators, other
professions and consumers.
MassCPAs is proud to welcome Baker Tilly and LCW Certified Public
Accountants to the FSM Program! They join 70
other participating firms who are investing in the future of
the profession by giving their staff 100% membership.
There is strength in numbers, and if you’ve ever thought about
joining the FSM Program, the time is now. Your membership
supports our efforts to grow and diversify the accounting
pipeline, amplifies the voice of the profession at the State
House and ensures your firm will be represented as we work to
promote accounting careers to students as early as middle
school. Participating firms also receive a significant discount
on staff membership dues and other exclusive benefits. Details
about the FSM Program are here, or you can contact me via email.
We are developing a similar program for members in industry and
corporate finance (stay tuned for details!). If you’re
interested in learning more, please contact Kara Kieran.
There are so many ways MassCPAs membership can help all members
expand their networks and advance in the profession. Join
us on Tuesday, November 15, for a free,
30-minute webinar to learn all the ways you can get involved.
And if you’re in the Quincy area, come to 16C on Wednesday, November 9,
for our next Member Networking Night – register
here. Recent Member Networking Nights in
New Bedford, Springfield and Burlington were wildly popular –
don’t miss this one!
