Hello, Brownites & ! Would you like to network via Zoom? If so, please drop your name here.

As we celebrate Freedom Day 2021, please take a moment to reflect upon two important centennials: (1) the legacy of John Wesley Cromwell, Jr., who became the first CPA in 1921 and (2) the destruction of the Black Wall Street neighborhood in Greenwood, Oklahoma.

Have a Safe and Blessed Celebration.

Dr. Larzette Golden Hale was a trailblazer indeed! She was the first African-American woman to hold a CPA and a PhD in Accounting.

Dr. Hale served as the International Treasurer of Alpha Kappa Alpha, Inc. establishing a centralized accounting system. In 1966, she was elected International President of our sorority.

She shared her journey on becoming a professor and the challenges she faced when she graduated from Langston University and was unable to find a job. So she created one!

She opened her own CPA practice serving small business owners in our community. Keeping those numbers straight.

We all need a Dr. Hale. Someone who looks like us, sets high standards and blazes trails so we can follow. This is my Black History Shero!

Who is this gentleman? I am glad you asked.

This is a photo of Arthur J. Wilson. Mr. Wilson was the 2nd Black Certified Public Accountant. He was licensed in 1923 in the State of Illinois before the state required an apprenticeship to become a CPA. Arthur J. Wilson, CPA provided experience to others and by 1945 half of the Black CPAs in the country worked in Chicago.

The National Society of Black CPAs mission is to build off of the Black CPAs that paid the price for our existence and wanted to ensure that number of Black CPAs would be greater than today’s less than 1% of the CPA profession.

Become a member and help us increase the number of Black CPAs.

From SHERMANETTA CARTER, CPA, MORRIS BROWN COLLEGE CFO-C/O 1994

Happy Black History Month to my fellow CPAs. Special recognition to John W. Cromwell Jr., the first Black Certified Public Accountant, graduated with honors from Dartmouth College and earned a master’s degree but chose to teach high school math because of limited practice opportunities.

Early on it was difficult to get a CPA license due to the inability to get the experience requirement. Then New Hampshire passed a law that allowed people to obtain a CPA license without the experience requirement. With that change he passed the CPA exam and was initially licensed in 1921 in New Hampshire.

After being certified, Mr. Cromwell continued to teach math but also practiced in his own CPA firm in the Washington DC area. He worked mostly with the black community providing service to churches, funeral homes, restaurants and lawyers.
