The Elijah Watt Sells Award, established in 1923 by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), recognizes outstanding performance on the Uniform CPA Exam. This award honors individuals who pass all four sections of the CPA exam on their first attempt with a cumulative average score of 95.5 or higher.
In 2024, more than 74,000 individuals sat for the exam, with only 11 meeting the rigorous award criteria. PwC US is proud to celebrate its two honorees. Their achievement reflects the exceptional talent at our firm and our continued commitment to excellence in the accounting profession.
This award is one of the most prestigious and competitive honors in the field—and this year’s recipients are outstanding examples of what it means to be a CPA.
Congratulations to our 2024 honorees:
