Supported by Community
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.
Our mission is to invest in the next generation of accounting leaders by funding high-quality education, fostering industry collaboration, and supporting continuous professional growth.
Our vision is a world where every accounting professional has the opportunity to learn, grow, and lead, regardless of financial barriers.
Access for All
Lifelong Learning
Community + Connection
Dawn Brolin
President
“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.”
