What We Do

Born from a ‘what if’ sticky note at Appy Camp, the Accounting Cornerstone Foundation has become a reality with only one goal in mind: to share the opportunity to attend continuing education conferences and support the growth of accounting and bookkeeping professionals around the globe.  We are a nonprofit that sends accounting and bookkeeping professionals to local in-person continuing education conferences, providing conference tickets, airfare, and hotel accommodations.

Partnering with a Leading Conference to Support the Future of Accounting

The Accounting Cornerstone Foundation is proud to partner with Scaling New Heights to support the next generation of accounting professionals.

 

Throughout this year’s Scaling New Heights conference, attendees will have meaningful opportunities to give back and make an impact. Join us by participating in a silent auction featuring a one-of-a-kind, “priceless” item, contributing through a simple QR code donation during a dedicated main stage moment, or connecting with us in person at the ACF booth.

 

Every contribution directly supports ACF scholarships, helping accounting professionals attend Scaling New Heights for the very first time and opening the door to valuable education, industry insights, and powerful connections that shape the future of the profession.

The Foundation of Our Work

“There is nothing else like these in-person learning opportunities, like conferences. The creation of lifelong personal bonds is amazing.  Being able to learn about people on a personal level, not just professionally, and the connections we've made with one another and the technology vendors is absolutely priceless. My life has transformed as a result of the connections I've made from attending conferences, and I want others to experience how truly impactful attending in-person learning is.”

The first year of Accounting Cornerstone Foundation has been an amazing success.
