--Collaboration to deliver IMA courses and certifications to accounting professionals nationwide--
MONTVALE, N.J., December 11, 2026 — IMA® (Institute of Management Accountants), one of the largest and most respected associations focused on advancing the management accounting profession, and CPA Crossings (CPAx), a trusted and leading provider of continuing education to accounting and finance professionals, have entered into a collaborative partnership agreement to serve professionals worldwide.
Under the new collaboration, IMA and CPAx will work together in marketing, selling, and offering each other’s courses and certificates to CPAx’s national distribution partners—which consist primarily of state CPA societies—and to IMA’s members across the globe. CPAx partners will seamlessly access IMA's content and learning opportunities directly through CPAx, allowing for an easy transition to IMA's learning platform and dozens of courses. IMA members will secure CPAx courses through IMA’s current course catalog, also for seamless access.
“We're thrilled to partner with CPAx to bring IMA's learning resources to accounting professionals nationwide,” said Mike DePrisco, president and CEO at IMA. “Whether you're in public accounting looking to transition to industry or aiming to upskill in topics most relevant for business today, this partnership gives you access to the skills and credentials that transform technical precision into strategic influence. Together, we're helping professionals build sustainable and impactful careers.”
The courses will be available at a discounted rate and focus on topics that include AI, sustainability, data analytics and visualization, financial planning and analysis, cybersecurity, and leadership. IMA and CPAx will also regularly inform each other about general market developments and market factors relating to each other's products, services, customer implementations, and current projects.
“Our learning platform is greatly enhanced by adding IMA’s courses and certification programs to our distribution partners in the U.S. and Canada, and the unique value will resonate with our learners. As continuing education becomes more niche and specialized, CPAx continues to position itself as a learning solution for all accounting and finance professionals, whether they are in public accounting or corporate finance,” said Rob Wilker, CEO at CPAx.
