MYCPE ONE

Keeping a Fully Remote CPA Team Compliant and Connected Through MYCPE ONE

Mid-Sized Firm | Remote-First | 30 CPAs | National

Nexus CPA Collective is a fully distributed accounting firm with 30 CPAs working from 14 states, with no physical office. Founded in 2020, the firm was built entirely around remote work, serving tech startups, SaaS companies, and digital-native businesses. Managing CPE compliance across 14 different state boards, without the coordination infrastructure of a traditional office, presented a unique challenge that MYCPE ONE was purpose-built to solve.
