About the NVCPA

Nevada's Premier Professional Association

For more than 60 years, Nevada Society of Certified Public Accountants (NVCPA) has worked to enhance the practice of accounting in Nevada through member services, support, and advocacy.

Today, we are a professional association of more than 1,600 accounting practitioners working to better serve the interest of both the profession and the public throughout the state.

One of the intangibles we provide our members is a forum in which to network with fellow CPAs. Through local chapter luncheons in Las Vegas and Reno and statewide conferences, members have the opportunity to meet new contacts with expertise in niche accounting areas.

Pursuing our mission, we administer special interest group initiatives, legislative monitoring efforts, and continuing professional education (CPE) courses. We also provide a newsletter with up-to-date information in the accounting world.

We strive to provide the best possible support for both our members and the public.
