- Jesse Blayton
- Talmadge Tab Tillman was the first African-American gaduate of the MBA program at Syracuse University. He earned his Ph.D from the University of Southern California in 1967, and taught at Cal State Long Beach. His benefits include one of the standpoints of what Black accountants had to go through to become licensed.
- Bernadine Coles Gines
- Richard Austin graduated from his large Detroit high school at the top of his class. While a teenager, he had developed a bookkeeping practice with primarily black and Jewish clients. He was licensed in 1941. One of his professors helped him meet the experience requirement, and he went on to have a successful CPA firm in the city. He was elected Wayne County Auditor in 1966, narrowly lost a race that would have made him Detroits first black mayor in 1969, and was elected as Michigan's Secretary of State in 1971. Re-elected four times, he served in the role for over two decades.
- Summary
- Professor Jesse B. Blayton was known as the Dean of Negro Accountants because he encouraged and trained numerous African-American CPAs. He became licensed in 1928. He taught at Morehouse College and Atlanta University for decades, and consulted with cabinet members in President Franklin Roosevelt's administration regarding the impact of New Deal programs on the Black Community. In the 1960s, he and his Atlanta firm provided services to the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. and to the Southern Christian Leadership Conference.
- Bernadine Coles Gines earned an MBA from New York University in 1947 and became the first African-American female CPA in New York in 1954. Barred due to her race from attending the University of Virginia, Gines had moved to New York in the hope of finding better opportunities. Nonetheless, it was difficult to find a firm to hire her. The one black-owned firm in New York did not employ women. After years of searching, she finally found employment with a small Jewish-owwned firm. She went on to work for the City of New York until she retired. Her sister. Ruth Coles Harris, became the first African-American female CPA in Virginia in 1963.
- The people I researched mainly had a tough upbringing but later on the end of their careers, achieved notoriety for what they were doing in the field. One person that I feel had the biggest impact in the accounting profession is Richard Austin because he did more and is known throughout states, most notably Michigan, because of how big his influence is over there.
