ALPFA is the premier Latino professional organization in finance, accounting, and other related professions. ALPFA has active members, committed business partners, and quality programs. – ALPFA Vision

ALPFA is the proud successor of the American Association of Hispanic Certified Public Accountants (AAHCPA), the first national Latino professional association in the United States. Established in 1972, this Association continues to build upon our proud legacy of shared values and guiding principles.

As heir to this rich legacy, ALPFA's current Board of Directors, with the support of the Corporate Advisory Board, is innovatively addressing the challenges that lie ahead by promoting the highest standards of excellence for itself and for its members. ALPFA advances into the 21st century as an experienced professional association dedicated to enhancing opportunities for Latinos in the accounting, finance, and related professions.

With over 36 years of history, ALPFA is recognized as a strong advocate for the advancement of Latinos. ALPFA is committed to providing professional development opportunities to its members, as well as creating awareness among our youth about the accounting and finance professions. ALPFA has partnerships with State CPA Societies to provide professional development opportunities to its members at the Annual Convention, seminars, and quarterly dinner meetings. Participation in these events provides ALPFA members with continuing professional education (CPE) credits and an opportunity to network.

ALPFA also recognizes the financial challenges faced by Latinos to fund their undergraduate studies. We are dedicated to assisting Latino students pursue and complete their higher education degrees in accounting and finance. In collaboration with various corporations, we award scholarships on a local basis ranging from $500 to $1,500, and on a national basis ranging from $1,500 to $5,000. Students are selected based on academic achievement, financial need, community service, and active membership with our organization.

ALPFA is well positioned to assist Fortune 500 companies and the Big 4 accounting firms to recruit, retain, and develop professional Latino/Hispanic talent in finance, accounting, investments and related business functions.
