Meet Reggie Alilonu, Managing Partner of Alilonu CPA and Financial Advisor with Ameriprise Financial Services.

Reggieโ€™s work is all about helping clients find clarity and confidence in their financial lives โ€” from navigating complex tax decisions to building long-term investment strategies.

But for Reggie, success goes beyond the numbers. Heโ€™s passionate about giving back to his community and creating opportunities for others to rise and succeed. When heโ€™s not working or serving his community, you can find him on the pickleball court or cheering on his favorite basketball teams. ๐Ÿ€

His advice for the next generation of CPAs? Keep learning, build strong technical skills, get involved and step into leadership. As Reggie puts it, โ€œ๐˜จ๐˜ณ๐˜ฐ๐˜ธ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ ๐˜ค๐˜ฐ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด ๐˜ง๐˜ณ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฎ ๐˜ด๐˜ต๐˜ฆ๐˜ฑ๐˜ฑ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜ง๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ธ๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ฅ, ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฐ๐˜ต ๐˜ด๐˜ต๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜ด๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ญ๐˜ญ.โ€

Shout out to St. Mary's Food Bank for hosting the ASCPA team today! We had a blast giving back to the community today. Learning about St. Mary's distribution, overnight bags and service area was incredibly inspiring. Thank you for all you do for our neighbors!

Thank you to Tina S. Lyons, ASCPA member and Senior Vice President of Finance at St. Mary's Food Bank for presenting on charitable tax credits for an hour of CPE for our members. The breakdown of the five different types of tax credits from a technical and human perspective really helps as CPAs better inform clients looking to give back to the community.

This year, the ASCPA's annual Converge Conference will focus on AI to help our community not only keep CPAs in the loop, but also take the lead.

Day Two is packed with sessions designed to move you beyond the AI conversation and into practical application.

Start the day with a fireside chat on human judgment, AI and accountability, then dig into AI-related fraud risks, the latest accounting and auditing developments, and ways AI can help your firm generate new business.
