GWSCPA Membership: Flexible Payment Options - Greater Washington Society of CPAs

The GWSCPA now offers several flexible payment options for paying your membership dues! You can now pay your GWSCPA membership dues on either an annual or monthly basis.

Annual Payment
Pay your annual dues in full by July 31st of each membership year and receive a renewal notice prompting an annual payment the next membership year. If paying by credit card, we also offer the option for automatic annual renewal and your card will be charged each membership year.

Monthly Payment
While GWSCPA does not offer month-to-month membership and your membership is still a year-long commitment, we now offer the option to break your annual fee into monthly installments.

If you choose the monthly payment option, you'll pay for your annual membership via automatic credit card payments. Payments will be automatically charged to your credit card on the same day each month as your plan began.

While you may resign your membership at any time, we do not offer refunds and you are responsible for paying any remaining dues balance for your annual commitment.

GWSCPA Terms and Conditions
By opting into a GWSCPA automated flexible payment program for annual membership dues (annually or monthly), you affirm that he/she has carefully read, understands and agrees to the following terms and conditions:

Automated Flexible Payment Terms
Your GWSCPA membership will continue and automatically renew until terminated. You can update your payment information or cancel your renewal at any time on our website at https://www.gwscpa.org/my-cpa/dues.

While you may resign your membership at any time, we do not offer refunds and you are responsible for paying any remaining dues balance for your annual commitment.

By opting into an automatic membership payment program, you authorize GWSCPA to charge your credit card on file, for your membership dues on either a monthly or annual basis (as selected by the member).

Dues Rates
Membership dues may change from year to year, we follow the Federal Targeted Inflation Rate. Automatic renewals will be charged at the most current rate. You can view the current membership rates here.

Payment Process
To participate in automated payments, you must have a valid credit card set-up for automatic debit. The amount will be charged to your card on file annually or monthly (as selected by the member). If you are signed up for annual auto renewal payments, the charge will appear on July 1 of each membership year and will appear on your statement as Greater Washington Society of CPAs.

If your card information changes at any time, it is your responsibility to update your card information as soon as possible so that your membership will not be interrupted.

If your card is declined, you will lose access to your GWSCPA member benefits immediately and will not get access back until your card is updated. If your card is declined, you are still responsible for the remaining payments for your annual membership. If you do not update your credit card on file, your membership will be terminated 14 days after the initial decline.

If you default on your GWSCPA plan payments and do not pay your membership dues in full, you will be responsible for paying the difference in the member and nonmember rate for any paid event, CPE or programming you participated in.

Payment Timeline
The GWSCPA membership year currently runs July 1 to June 30. Depending on when you join the GWSCPA, your annual dues and payment timeline may be prorated. The length of time of the monthly automatic payment plan is variable based on when you join in the membership year.

For example:
If you join the GWSCPA or renew your annual dues on July 1, you will have 12 payments with the final payment in the month of June.
If you join the GWSCPA or opt into monthly dues renewal on January 1, you will have 6 payments with the final payment in the month of June.

GWSCPA will send email notifications about pending “annual” automatic renewal charges to the preferred email address associated with your membership account. You are responsible for maintaining a current email address that can receive GWSCPA emails as the primary email address associated with your account. Inability to receive GWSCPA emails will not be regarded as grounds for refund.

Cancellation & Refunds
When you join the GWSCPA, you may cancel your membership any time, however we do not offer refunds of any kind. If you are on a monthly payment plan, you are still responsible for paying the remaining balance of your annual membership dues commitment.
