CPAImpact prepares Iowa’s next generation of CPA leaders

June 10, 2026

As the accounting profession continues to evolve, strong leadership is more important than ever. To help develop future leaders, ISCPA has launched CPAImpact Leadership Academy, a new program designed specifically for emerging Iowa CPAs.

CPAImpact combines leadership training, practical application and peer networking to help participants build skills that go beyond technical expertise. The program focuses on communication, emotional intelligence, critical thinking, accountability, delegation and change management — key competencies for professionals preparing to lead teams, organizations and the profession.

The academy is designed for accounting professionals ages 25 to 35 who have at least three years of experience and are currently serving at the senior or manager level or are on a path toward advancement. Participants must be active ISCPA members, and enrollment is limited to 25 individuals to encourage meaningful collaboration and personalized learning.

CPAImpact benefits both participants and the organizations that support them. Employers who invest in leadership development strengthen succession planning, employee engagement and long-term growth while developing professionals who can effectively lead teams and navigate change.

Enrollment is open through Sept. 1 or until capacity is reached. Early registration is encouraged.
