Summary

This week on Future Proof, we’re joined by Lexy Kessler, partner at Aprio, former chair of the Maryland Association of CPAs, and now the third Marylander to chair the AICPA’s board of directors. Lexy brings insight, inspiration, and a powerful sense of purpose to this conversation. She shares how a high school bookkeeping class sparked her career, why she was an early adopter of technology, and how a short break from public accounting reaffirmed her calling. Now in a national leadership role, Lexy is focused on deep listening, building trust across the profession, and addressing the talent pipeline with both policy and heart. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking renewed purpose and direction in the profession. Resources Lexy Kessler LinkedIn Profile Lexy Kessler AICPA Profile National Pipeline Advisory Group
