The North Carolina Association of CPAs selected Devon Parker, a staff accountant at TRP Sumner, to serve a three-year term on the NCACPA’s Young Professionals Cabinet. 

“I was honored to recently learn that I have been named to the NCACPA Young Professionals Cabinet. I am eager for this opportunity to further connect and network with a broader base of accounting professionals here in North Carolina,” Parker said. 

In his role, Parker will be met with opportunities for networking, community outreach, leadership development and diverse opportunities, TRP Sumner wrote in a social media post. 

“The Cabinet also seeks ways to enhance the value of membership for younger members and inform the leadership of topics relevant to them. In addition, this Cabinet position will help to personally engage young professionals by promoting and aiding their involvement and development in the accounting profession,” the firm wrote. 

The NCACPA strives to “enhance the accounting profession and the community it serves through advocacy, connections, education, and resources,” TRP Sumner wrote in a post. The organization consistently communicates with the North Carolina State Board of CPA Examiners, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the North Carolina General Assembly, the IRS, the Financial Accounting Standards Board and regulators who shape the accounting standards across the state and nation.
