Our History

The Atlanta Alliance of Black Accountants was founded in 1974 by men and women committed to expanding the experience of minority professionals in the Atlanta community.  Nearly 50 years later, the Atlanta Black Accountants is the premier Accounting and Finance organization in the Atlanta Metro Area. Members of the professional organization participate in community outreach programs, giving back to the next generation of professionals and enjoy opportunities to learn from and network with our corporate partners.
