The New Jersey Society of Certified Public Accountants (NJCPA) in the US has announced John Szczomak as its new president for the 2025-26 term.
Szczomak, a member of the NJCPA since 1990, took over the role from June Toth, principal at WilkinGuttenplan, on 1 June.
In his upcoming term as NJCPA president, Szczomak aims to tackle the challenges of the CPA pipeline by encouraging more individuals to pursue careers in accounting and by mentoring the next generation of professionals.
Szczomak’s career spanned the Cooperation with Bankers Committee, Healthcare Committee, Financial Services Resource Group, and Accounting & Auditing Standards Interest Group.
He has also held positions as NJCPA trustee, treasurer, and secretary, as well as being a New Jersey CPA Political Action Committee Trustee, on the Essex Chapter Board, and an NJCPA Scholarship Fund Trustee.
With more than 38 years of experience at Smolin, Lupin & Co, Szczomak has built a career focusing on tax services for high-net-worth individuals and sectors such as healthcare, retail, and professional services.
NJCPA CEO and executive director Aiysha Johnson said: “We are pleased to welcome John as president and are very excited by his enthusiasm to connect with younger professionals and inform them about this great profession.
“Mentoring is important in all fields, but it is particularly needed in accounting to explain the many opportunities that are available to CPAs.”
In May 2025, the New Jersey General Assembly in the US passed legislation aimed at modernising the path to becoming a certified public accountant (CPA) in the state.
The bill, known as A5598, is a response to the difficulties local businesses have encountered in recruiting qualified CPAs.
"NJCPA appoints new president for 2025-26 term" was originally created and published by The Accountant, a GlobalData owned brand.
