TCPA + FBLA = opportunity
Here's great news! Tomorrow's CPA has established a partnership with Future Business Leaders of America in Maryland and DECA. We look forward to contributing speakers to address these groups on the CPA role in business and the CPA career, to serve as judges in competitions, and to take part in mock interviews and other FBLA programs.
