Taking the CPA oath

The Minnesota Society of Certified Public Accountants (MNCPA) is a not-for-profit professional organization. We've offered services that support CPAs and other accounting professionals since 1904. We currently have more than 9,000 members working in public accounting, industry, government and education.

Our history

Our purpose is to  help our members succeed professionally while being mindful of serving the public. We have four primary initiatives:

  • Provide education
  • Encourage leadership
  • Offer member resources
  • Serve the public

The Society operates through volunteer committees and task forces, statewide chapters and a board of directors elected by the membership. Support services and professional development are managed by a professional staff.

MNCPA membership is open to anyone holding a CPA certificate (active or inactive) from any state. Associate membership is available to non-CPA owners or billable professionals of a firm, corporate finance professionals or non-CPAs in a full-time accounting educator role.

About CPAs

CPAs are business and financial strategists who help chart the paths of individuals and businesses. Members are credentialed by the state after passing a rigorous exam and meeting specific work and education experience requirements.

CPAs are required to follow a strict code of ethics and perform within the high standards of the profession. They take continuing educations to keep up with new rules and regulations in the financial, accounting and business world.
