W hile the State of New York was the first U.S. state to administer the Certi fied Public Accountant Exam, in 1896, it wasn’t until 1921 that John Cromwe ll, Jr., became the first African American CPA in the country. Since then, the number of African American CPAs has grown slowly; it took about 45 year s for that number to hit 100 in the United States. As of 2021, African Amer ican CPAs accounted for less than 9% of the 500,000 CPAs in the United Stat es.
Join us February 22, as part of African American/Black History Mo nth, for a panel discussion on the African American CPA Experience in Color ado. Panelists represent varying degrees of experience and a wide range of career paths within the profession, and include Lucius Ashby, one of the fi rst Black individuals to become licensed as a Colorado CPA. Ashby, who has nearly 50 years’ experience building a CPA practice, will join panelists Jo ni Johnson-Powe, a tax partner with KPMG, Isaac Adamu, a manager with Grant Thornton, and Eula Adams, who will share his experiences in a large public accounting firm, a Fortune 500 company, and as a nonprofit board member. p>
