Community

The community is
the growth engine.

Everything else — the platform, the advisory team, the marketplace, the resources — gets sharper because of the conversations our members are having with each other. This is where that happens.


How It Works

Eight Growth Councils. One operating rhythm.

Each Growth Council is a focused peer group built around how CPA firms actually run — by role, by service line, or by function. Members join the Councils most relevant to their seat in the firm. AI and tech are embedded in every Council session — not as a separate track, but as a working block inside every agenda.

By Role
Who you are in the firm

Managing Partners, Operating Leaders, Financial Leaders — three Councils for the people accountable for how the firm runs, grows, and performs financially.

By Service Line
What the firm sells

Tax, Client Accounting Services, Audit & Assurance — three Councils for the practice leaders building, scaling, and modernizing the core service lines.

By Function
How the firm operates

Human Resources & Talent, Marketing & Growth — two Councils for the functional leaders solving the firm’s hardest operating problems.



Operating Rhythm

What being in the community actually looks like.

Membership in CPA 360 isn’t a logo on a partner page or a discount code at a conference. It’s a structured operating rhythm that pulls your firm into a network of peers and resources every month.

Twice yearly
Growth Council working sessions — focused, agenda-driven, peer-led convenings for each of the eight Councils. Real agendas, real outputs, real decisions.
Monthly
Member-only email briefings — Council briefings, benchmark drops, and what we’re seeing across the network.
Quarterly
Cohort-led peer reviews — firm-of-firms peer reviews and themed deep-dives organized by Council and firm size.
Annually
Insight summit — the flagship summit where the full community converges. November 2–4, 2026 · Madison, WI. Every Council has a dedicated track.
Year-round
Advisory access, marketplace access, Resource Center — plus an async member forum that’s always open.

Beyond the Meetings

Membership is more than two Council sessions a year.

Two working sessions a year is the anchor. Everything else is what makes it compound.

Member email subscription
Monthly briefings from your Councils

Benchmark snapshots, member spotlights, and what we’re seeing across the network. Written by operators, not marketers. Short enough to read, specific enough to use.

Advisory access
Time with a CPA 360 advisor

Every member gets access to advisory time — to evaluate your firm’s offerings, stack, and growth levers, and build a practical 12-month plan with owners and milestones.

Marketplace access
Direct access to affiliate businesses

Payroll, wealth, HR, marketing, brokerage, property management, CRM/ERP — affiliate businesses already serving CPA firms and their clients, available directly to members.

AI- and tech-first platform
PracticeERP

The AI-native system of record for the modern firm. The community pushes every member firm forward on AI and modern operating tech regardless of which platform you run.

Insight summit
November 2–4, 2026 · Madison, WI

The annual summit where the full community converges. Three days, eight Council tracks, plenary sessions, firm-of-firms benchmarking, and the conversations you can’t have anywhere else.


How to Join

Two ways into
the CPA 360 Community.

Membership runs through PracticeERP or through one of our affiliate businesses. There is no standalone subscription — the community is the wrapper around everything we build together.

If your firm is running PracticeERP, community access is included. If you’re coming in through one of our marketplace partners — or you’re a firm that wants advisory-first access — reach out and we’ll route you into the right Councils based on your firm size, service lines, and the roles that should be represented.
