AICPA Profiles John Karaffa in National Career Awareness Campaign

The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) selected John Karaffa, President of ProSport Accountants, to be featured in its national career awareness initiative, Start Here, Go Places. The campaign aims to inspire students to explore the diverse and rewarding career paths within the accounting profession.

John Karaffa's profile is included on the campaign's website as part of an effort to showcase professionals who break traditional stereotypes and demonstrate the real-world impact of careers in accounting. Jeannie Patton, former AICPA vice president of students, academics, and membership, described the campaign as a way to show students “the incredibly rich possibilities of a career in accounting.”

With a background in professional athletics and a business built around providing financial education and tax services to athletes, Karaffa represents a unique intersection of sports and finance. His inclusion in the AICPA campaign highlights the value of nontraditional paths within the accounting profession.
