CITP credential blends accounting, technology to help grow your practice.

The Certified Information Technology Professional is a CPA credentialed as a technology professional and recognized for his or her unique ability to bridge the gaps between business and technology. This special credential, unlike other certifications that recognize only a narrow scope of skills, is the mark of excellence for CPA business technologists who are leaders in industry, public practice, government and academia.

A CPA.CITP can play an integral part of business planning and forming IT strategies. Credential holders get a competitive advantage, enabling you to expand service offerings, grow your revenue and gain insight into other areas of a business.
