History

The Minnesota Society of CPAs incorporated on July 14, 1904, with seven charter members. The organization originally incorporated under the title "Minnesota Society of Public Accountants." The Society adopted the current name in 1928 after merging with another organization for CPAs in Minnesota, the "Minnesota State Society of Certified Public Accountants."

Minnesota was the 19th state to organize a CPA society, nine years after the state of California created the first CPA society in 1895.
