What Oklahoma Society of Certified Public Accountants does

The Oklahoma Society of Certified Public Accountants (OSCPA) is a 501(c)(6) nonprofit professional membership organization founded in 1918 and headquartered at 5201 N. Shartel Avenue in Oklahoma City. It serves as the only statewide society exclusively dedicated to Oklahoma CPAs and accounting professionals, providing membership services, advocacy, continuing professional education (CPE), peer review administration, career resources, and a public-facing Find a CPA referral directory. The organization also operates the OSCPA Educational Foundation, a nonprofit subsidiary that administers scholarships for accounting students. OSCPA is governed by an elected Board of Directors and led by President & CEO Blaine M. Peterson, CPA, with Mark Neumeister, CPA serving as Chair for 2026–2027.

OSCPA's product surface spans a membership platform (oscpa.com), a Knowledge Hub (oscpahub.com), a Connect member forum, CPAFocus magazine, the OSCPA Voices content platform, the Career Center, the Find a CPA Directory, peer review services, CPA-PAC advocacy, and an extensive CPE catalog comprising 1,000+ webcasts and 988+ self-study courses plus in-person and virtual conferences. Underlying technology is not explicitly disclosed; the platform appears to be a standard association management stack with self-serve member enrollment, guest checkout, a CPE credit tracker, and a directory listing service. The society's 108th Annual Members Meeting was held in June 2026 at the Omni Oklahoma City Hotel.

OSCPA's revenue model combines annual membership dues (pricing not publicly disclosed), unit-priced CPE courses ($55–$480 individually, with multi-day conferences and bundles up to ~$1,000), a $100 annual Find a CPA Directory firm enrollment fee (waived for 100% VIP member firms), and event/digital/classified advertising and sponsorship revenue (e.g., CPACharge, INTRUST Bank, First Citizens Bank, Alliant, EMSCO Solutions). Distribution is community-led and event-driven: acquisition occurs through local chapters, committees, networking events, advocacy engagement, and a multi-channel social/web presence (LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, TikTok). The society's customer base is highly distributed across Oklahoma CPAs and accounting firms, with no concentration among a small number of named accounts.
