Reclaim Your Seat at the Table of Accounting Excellence

Join a powerful community of Black aspiring CPAs who are rewriting the narrative–together. Get mentorship, exam resources, professional development, and the advocacy you deserve.

We See You. We’ve Been You.

You’ve put in the work. Long hours. Family obligations. Late-night study sessions. Maybe you tried for your CPA and came up short once–or maybe you haven’t even started because it feels too big, too expensive, or too far out of reach. You’re not alone. Black accountants make up less than 2% of all the CPA’s in the U.S. That’s not because we lack the talent–it’s because the system wasn’t built with us in mind. We’re here to change that.

You Belong in This Profession. And We’ll Help You Get There.

Imagine walking into your firm with confidence–knowing your credentials open doors. Imagine being part of a community that not only understands your journey but walks with you through every step. That’s what NSBCPA does: we make sure you don’t just dream of becoming a CPA–you become one.

We Remove Every Barrier Between You and the CPA You’re Meant to Be.

“I tried once and didn’t succeed.”

We help you build a new plan, with mentorship and accountability from people who’ve been where you are–and passed.

“I’m too busy.”

Your time is valuable–and so is your future. You can pursue your CPA without pausing your life. We'll help you find the time.

“I’m overwhelmed with work and family.”

You don’t have to do this alone. Our community gives you structure, support, and a space to breathe.

“I’m not sure it’s worth it.”

The CPA is more than letters–it’s leverage. Higher pay, leadership roles, and credibility that commands respect.

“I don’t need it unless I sign audit reports.”

True. But, big 4 firms and top employers use it to identify leaders. The CPA sets you apart in ways titles can’t.

“It’s expensive to keep licenses.”

License costs are real–but the opportunities it opens far exceed the investment of maintaining your CPA license.

Real Stories. Real Progress.

“Passing the CPA Exam was one of the most challenging and rewarding milestones of my professional journey. It wasn’t just about mastering accounting principles—it was about discipline, perseverance, and believing in myself even when the process felt overwhelming. There were long nights, early mornings, and moments of doubt, but I kept reminding myself that excellence requires endurance. Becoming a CPA has elevated my confidence, strengthened my credibility, and opened doors to opportunities that align with my purpose—to empower others through financial education and strategic business guidance. For anyone on this path, my advice is simple: stay consistent, trust the process, and remember why you started. The reward is greater than the sacrifice."

— A. Leaha Crawford, CPA, EA, MBA
Crawford Management Group | Las Vegas, NV

“The program proved valuable in providing structure and discipline, with deadlines presented during each session. Dr. Farrar, the professors, and the students provided support and accountability with kind words, wisdom, and tips on studying and test-taking. The NSBCPA Breakthrough program provided great professors and excellent study materials, which helped me pass the Uniform CPA Exam.”

– London Davis, CPA

“I couldn't have passed the CPA without NSBCPA. They provided consistent support in anything we needed. When I was struggling with any of the concepts they made themselves available to explain it to me. Their program helped me understand what it took to achieve something, the work it takes, and the dedication you have to have. Moreover, they didn't just help me pass an exam. They provided me with a community of like minded individuals who were striving for the same things I were. I'm excited to see all my fellow members pass the CPA and watch them build a better tomorrow."
