Scott Wiley is stepping down from his role as president and CEO of the Ohio Society of CPAs and is being succeeded by Laura Hay, effective today.
Hay is the first woman and first CPA to lead the organization in its 100-plus-year history. Her strategic priorities include developing CPA talent to strengthen the pipeline and advocating for protections for the profession.
Hay served as OSCPA’s executive vice president for 11 years and previously as chief operating officer. She was a senior auditor at PricewaterhouseCoopers.
“Laura’s extensive experience and proven leadership within OSCPA make her the ideal choice to lead us into the future,” Rick Fedorovich, executive chairman of BMF CPAs and OSCPA board chair, said in a statement. “Her strategic vision and unwavering commitment to innovation will build on the stability, strength and success Scott has fostered. We are deeply grateful for Scott’s contributions and wish him every success in his next chapter.”
“Laura is a leader who cares about developing people and building strong teams,’ Wiley said in a statement. “I trust her — and more importantly, Ohio CPAs trust her. With Laura at the helm, OSCPA’s best days are ahead.”
Wiley served as president and CEO for 12 years.
“I am honored to lead this remarkable organization and deeply inspired by the trust and commitment of our statewide membership,” Hay said in a statement. “With the dedication of our dynamic staff and the vision of our board, I am confident that we can achieve extraordinary things together.”
