  Are you American? Asking because I'm Canadian and I think the markets are substantially different. I'm thinking about going into accounting. I'm not sure if I have the drive to finish the CPA though. I've already done quite a bit of school, bachelors in Economics and Finance, Masters in Economics, and a law degree. I am a bit burnt out and because I could do trials I don't have the pressure like I had before where I had the feeling like I had to do it. I'm not sure how I will do without that pressure when my alternative option is decent. I was thinking of starting an accounting firm where we do the clients' tax returns with a requirement that we also do your bookkeeping. Then I can work as a tax lawyer when my clients have issues. I think the money would be very good, probably lifetime income would be higher, but I would probably only make 40-50g's a year for almost 3 years until I reach the work requirement to get the CPA.

  Hi Jess, I truly enjoyed your video. If you're an accounting graduate, do you think a bookkeeping certification can help you if you want to be a small business accountant? Thx.

  Expectations at a public accounting firm are pretty high. You can’t be somebody who is not a fast learner. I worked at an accounting firm. I was fired after 6 months for poor performance. I came into that job with zero experience. They expect you to hit the ground running even if you have no experience.

  Am accounting major and I have to do a lot of daily studying in order to keep up because is not an easy major. My professor said that Accounting is the language of business and as we enter the class we are accountants not student and to act like it. Am loving it 😍 but without the daily study I would be lost

  For new Accountants, or anyone having an interest in accounting. you can now sit for the CPA exam, while having only 120 credits as of 2024. By the time you get 150 credits, you can get your licenses. meaning If I have 120, I can start taking some of the sections of the CPA, while obtaining my last 30 credits for my CPA requirement. Hope this helps!

  Im currently going into my junior year in Hs(CO 2025). Im just wondering how many years of college(total) i would need to be completely done with this profession in terms of college. Also, I am also wondering what level of math you would need to major in accounting. Im currently 1 level below what i am supposed to be at, for some reason i got put down a math level in my freshman year, and didnt have time to change it. Im just very concerned that a college wont accept me because my math level is lower than the average person.

  I will counter on the cpa and 150 credit hour expectations. If you are wanting to go into any audit or tax area they will push a cpa. If you want to do more financial statement or asc accounting or sec reporting in a corporate company they will require a cpa. I went into corporate accounting with property, gl, inventory, even revenue accounting they will not push the cpa exam or being a cpa. I have had many bosses with no cpa certification. You can make cfo levels in many small and medium size companies with no cpa certification. Plus the work life balance is leaps and bounds better.

  Do not work for the big 4 if you have no interest in accounting/ audit. If you are accounting major you would be better off in the industry than the big 4. It's a very toxic military environment with insolent frustrated superiors who want to ruin your morale and confidence. Don't start your career there, please.

  I’m in my junior year and just finished financial accounting last week. 😩🙌🏿 It wasn’t terribly hard, but I definitely had to put in a lot of study time. I work part time as well but decided to take a leave of absence until I finished the semester. Working full time is a lot, but you got it! Just take it one day at a time and prioritize. Edit: Also, don’t be ashamed to go to tutoring. I did a few times because I needed help, and the effort that I put into it paid off: I passed financial accounting with a 97.
