Distinguished Career Award

Scott Wrobbel, CPA

Receiving the WICPA Distinguished Career Award is truly an honor. It means an incredible amount to me because it is recognition of my life’s work, spanning over 40 years as a CPA. Having met so many outstanding CPAs, I am honored and humbled to receive this award.

The award process has allowed me to fondly reflect on the many people, clients, educators and organizations that I have had the privilege to know and work with over the course of my career. I reflect with joy on my wonderful journey from a young staff accountant at Arthur Andersen to becoming a partner at Deloitte, which provided me numerous leadership roles, including U.S. central region managing partner and Wisconsin managing partner.

I had the privilege of working with incredible mentors and colleagues who guided my development and shaped my career. I am thankful for the opportunity to have served many of the largest and most recognized companies in Wisconsin and to have provided guidance and assistance to them during moments that mattered. I am grateful to all the people that I have met on my journey, so many of whom have become lifelong friends.

Being a CPA has truly shaped my life. It provided me the business and professional skills to transition into the current chapter of my career, serving on the board of directors of several Wisconsin companies. Many thanks to the WICPA for the assistance they provided me and so many other CPAs during their careers.
