But, we think you deserve to celebrate the entire week. 😜 If you find yourself unprepared to celebrate this important holiday, don’t worry, we’ve got some easy and last-minute ideas for festivities. But first, let’s take a look at the numbers of your profession to learn a little more about what and who we’re celebrating.
According to data compiled by NASBA, there are 669,130 actively licensed CPAs in the United States as of August 2021. There are 1.2 million accountants and auditors in the United States, according to statista.com.
Do you know where accountants live? Well, as of May 2020, California had the highest number of accountants and auditors with 150,050 living in the state. New York comes in second place with 112,360 resident accountants and Texas follows behind with 109,470.

Ok, now that you're up-to-date on the numbers behind the National Accounting Day, here are some fun ways you can celebrate this year:
You really can’t go wrong when it comes to bringing food into the office. Who doesn’t love a breakfast bagel or a midday donut snack?!
Okay, we know you’ve heard a lot about this event but we really want to make sure you don’t miss it.
