Chair’s Message
By TXCPA Chair Billy Kelley, CPA-Permian Basin
I’m honored to introduce the November/December issue of Today’s CPA – our Rising Stars issue! This edition celebrates the future of our profession by highlighting an inspiring group of emerging leaders who are making a difference in their communities and in our profession. Having received this honor myself in 2013, I know firsthand how meaningful it is to be acknowledged by your peers and the TXCPA community.
This issue also highlights TXCPA’s active role in shaping the profession through advocacy and technical expertise. In addition, you’ll find timely insights on estate planning, sustainability assurance standards approved by IAASB and a practical review of information security guidance for tax professionals – critical knowledge as we prepare for the upcoming busy season.
Finally, don’t miss “What’s Happening Around Texas” for updates from our chapters and members across the state. TXCPA is strong because of you – your engagement, your expertise and your commitment to excellence.
Thank you for all you do. Let’s finish 2025 with momentum and look ahead to a bright new year.
