The Alliance of Professional Associations (APA) is a national Association Management Company which exclusively manages professional associations. The APA currently manages Enterprise Network Worldwide, CADCA, CBAN, HCAA, MSA, and NSA. Read more about each association.

The APA is a division of Five Star3, a premier training, networking and consulting services organization operating exclusively in the accounting industry to provide a range of high impact products and services to accounting firms.

By specializing in professional associations and through its affiliation with Five Star3, the APA is able to bring a combination of services, products and opportunities to its associations. In fact, many of these offerings cannot even be duplicated. APA has helped professionals enhance and expand their practices through education, networking, and marketing. Serving more than 300 firms in niche-specific associations, our products and services include educational conferences, technical materials, public relation programs, turnkey business development programs, and certification programs.

The Alliance brings together the best and brightest – each member firm must demonstrate proficiency in key niche services before being admitted, assuring a membership of high esteem and integrity. To maximize the competitive advantage provided by these benefits, many members retain a privileged status which may extend to holding an exclusive territory.

Our Team
The APA team works exclusively with the accounting industry, and as a part of the Five Star3 team, we offer a unique solution for networking, training and consulting needs for progressive accounting firms.
