Telligent, a leader in social community software for the enterprise, partnered with American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) to create the leading social networking site for aspiring accountants, This Way to CPA, which is designed to increase awareness of and drive recruitment efforts for AICPA.

We are expanding our reach with social networking to encourage talented students to invest in becoming a CPA and eventually a member of the AICPA, said Scott Moore, Sr. Manager, College and University Initiatives, AICPA. This Way to CPA is a one-stop shop for accounting students to network with peers and discuss career-related topics.

This Way to CPA is a first-of-its-kind online community that supports the personal development of accounting students and the profession by giving students a place to network with professionals and peers and discuss important topics such as how to land internships, what the accounting career path is like and advice for passing the CPA exam . Almost 23,000 people visit the community each month and over 57% return to the site to stay connected to the community and build relationships with peers.

This Way to CPA weaves a conversational, fun personality into a creatively-designed community that provides immense value to students, said Justin Couto, CEO of Couto Solutions, an elite design development firm that designed and implemented AICPAs online community.
