Our members are constantly on the move, making an impact on the CPA profession and reaching their professional goals.
Join us in congratulating your professional peers on their latest achievements this month:
Homer Hulme, CPA, was recently inducted into the Chickasha Athletics Hall of Fame for his contributions to his community, alma matter and the Chickasha Athletic Department.
Hulme attended Chickasha public schools through his junior year of high school and graduated from the Oklahoma Military Academy in 1951. He received his bachelor's degree in accounting from the University of Oklahoma (OU) in 1955 and then joined the Air Force.
After his military service, he returned to Chickasha and started an accounting firm. In 1975, Hulme earned his master's degree in accounting from OU. He just celebrated his 60th year as a CPA.
Hulme has been a supporter of the Chickasha Athletic Department since 1995 and started a scholarship fund in 1999 for aspiring accounting students in Grady County. He enjoys sharing the world of sports with Chickasha high school students and has set up a trust fund for the Chickasha wresting team to attend the Bedlam wrestling dual each year.

Randy Thurman, CPA/PFS, CFP, had a book signing event for his book "The All-Weather Retirement Portfolio," which was released by Forbes in May 2022.
The book signing took place on June 23 at the Full Circle Bookstore in Oklahoma City. Thurman has graciously offered to donate all proceeds from his book sales to support the OSCPA's financial literacy initiatives.
Thurman has authored six books over the past 30 years.
Matt Weller, CPA, has been appointed as the new city auditor for the City of Oklahoma City.
Weller succeeds Jim Williamson, who passed away in February after a 33-year career with the City.
“The position of City auditor is highly specialized, so it requires a unique background,” said Oklahoma City Mayor David Holt. “[Matt] has a long history with the City and ultimately, this was an easy choice. We look forward to working with Matt as he steps into his important new role as City Auditor."
Prior to working for the City, Weller worked several years in public accounting for both international and local accounting firms.
“I am honored to be appointed and continue providing quality independent audit, investigative, and advisory services to the City Council and executive management so that policy and operational decisions made on behalf of our residents can be well-informed,” Weller said.
