FAQs: AcctoFi and TXCPA

 

What is AcctoFi?

AcctoFi is the new name and dedicated brand for the nonprofit work historically managed under the Accounting Education Foundation (AEF) of TXCPA. It powers our mission to support the CPA profession through scholarships, awards, and trusted, expert-led education.

Why did TXCPA rebrand the Accounting Education Foundation to AcctoFi?

We created the AcctoFi brand to elevate the visibility of our philanthropic work, highlight the value we deliver through education and giving and build a platform for relevance and impact.

Is AcctoFi still part of TXCPA?

Yes. AcctoFi is an affiliate of and powered by TXCPA. Though it has a distinct look and its own website, it is an important branch of TXCPA and aligned with our mission to support the accounting profession. AcctoFi is registered with TSBPA and NASBA.

Why does the AcctoFi website look different from TXCPA's?

AcctoFi’s site has a fresh identity that reflects its focus on nonprofit programs, grants and national education outreach. However, we’ve made it easy to navigate between the two sites, and you’ll see indicators on both that clearly show the affiliation between TXCPA and AcctoFi.

What will I find on the AcctoFi website?

You’ll find:

  • CPE courses, events and content developed by TXCPA experts

  • Scholarship and award opportunities

  • Resources for educators and students

  • Stories of impact from our community

  • Ways to support the mission

Where should I go for my member benefits or chapter information?

Continue visiting tx.cpa for all your membership, advocacy, news and chapter-related resources. AcctoFi focuses on education and philanthropic initiatives.

Will my login work on both sites?

Yes — your member login credentials continue to work for accessing CPE and other content that you may need on either site. If you have issues logging in or navigating between the two, contact us at membership@tx.cpa or call 800-428-0272.

How can I support AcctoFi?

You can support AcctoFi by:

  • Making a tax-deductible donation

  • Sharing the scholarship and award opportunities with students

  • Volunteering to help support our mission or share your story

  • Spreading the word to your network
