Kelli Bernstein Selected as an OSCPAs Power of Change Honoree

On July 21st, during the Women, Wealth & Wellness Conference organized by The Ohio Society of CPAs, our colleague, and Quality Control Officer, Kelli Bernstein was recognized as a Power of Change honoree.

The Conference allows women in accounting and finance to explore ways to empower themselves and each other. The Power of Change recognition was given to 12 deserving women who advocate for the accounting profession, are mentors and role models, and make a community impact. Kelli's recognition was made more special because her nominator was her son, Joe. The following is his nomination submission.

She serves as a great role model to young women in accounting and always makes time for others in need of mentoring."
