Such is the strength of 23,450 members together in one organization. The combined strength and resources of the members of The Ohio Society of CPAs made the following achievements possible over the past year. These achievements touched the lives of our members, and also the communities in which they live and work.

The Ohio Society would not exist without its members. Thank you for everything you do to make this Our Society.
