Leslie Murphy AICPA Incoming Chair

For the first time in six decades, a Michigander will take the helm of the AICPA. Leslie Murphy, group managing partner of Plante & Moran, will become the AICPA chair at the Institute’s October annual meeting.

As a member of the senior management team at the nation’s 9th largest public accounting and management consulting firm, Leslie is one of the highest-ranking women in public accounting in the country. A former MACPA board member, she’s a prominent figure among Michigan CPAs and with civic organizations alike. Earlier this year, Leslie was named one of Corp! Magazine’s top businesswomen. Crain’s Detroit Business named her among the 100 most influential women in Southeast Michigan.
