All New: TXCPA’s Mentor Match Program

Big career moments often start with simple conversations – asking a question, sharing an experience or gaining a new perspective. TXCPA’s new Mentor Match program is built to spark those connections.

Designed for student and candidate members (mentees), the program is flexible, relationshipfocused and built to support learning, not job placement. Mentees gain perspective on exams and early career choices, while mentors have a simple, impactful way to give back and learn from the next generation.

Why get involved?

• Offer perspective at pivotal moments.
• Support and strengthen the CPA pipeline.
• Build meaningful, mutually beneficial connections.

Visit Mentor Match in TXCPA Exchange in the Communities section of TXCPA’s website to enroll as a mentor or find your match. One conversation can make all the difference.
