Appreciate you bro!

Why do feel lost? What is making you feel that way you are really still... You have time but get to it!!

Thanks for reaching out! I noticed you booked a call, thank you. here is my response for now 1) Where have you applied? 2) What type of positions are you looking for/applying for 3) What was your GPA when you graduated 4) What do you mean by "good standing for the CPA Exam", how many exams have you taken and passed? 5) How long have you been "studying"

@@BryanCarretoCPA So i Def wrote this before I scheduled a conference with you and think it would be best to chat then... TL;DR: I have applied for 'entry level' accounting positions anywhere that has a "hiring sign". GPA wasn't too bad but, not too high either. Good standing i.e. able to take the exam simply need to sign up for the exam and stop making up excuses. 1.) The majority of Applications I have sent out are for my local/municipal government however I have also applied for jobs working in the back office of my local credit union- hell even applying for teller positions feels like a mission in it of itself- I have reached out to one local CPA firm called Barret Co. CPA up here in the Pacific Northwest but, even some of the smaller firms seem to be run independently and don't give me the time of day. 2.) At this point Mr. C , ANYTHING that has "accounting" in its name. I usually apply for Payroll assistant jobs, accounting tech jobs, Billing clerk Billing assistant. I def go through phases of applying and interviewing but, I will say getting all dressed up and interviewing only to be told, "We have decided to move fwd with someone else is SOOOO disheartening. 3.) .... Next question! (It wasn't bad but low enough that I would feel embarrassed talking about it here. I will definitely say that online learning made school much harder than I had anticipated and my grades and GPA definitely reflected that while I was finishing up my undergraduate. Although I will say, I have never been asked for my grades or GPA when applying for a job; is it common for firms to really care about them? 4.) Good standing, Osea.....I am eligible to take the exam? I have been procrastinating taking my exam and because sometimes I feel like i am losing faith in the certification as it is. 0/4. I have started studying for the FAR exam. 5.) about 25 hours a week; give or take. I was planning on taking it back around november 16th but, kinda chickened out. I know I know. I am working on finding a balance between work and studying and being able to financially pay off debts at the moment.

Thanks for reaching out, what do you mean by resources for career change into accounting?

Thanks Bryan! I'm in my 30s, did completely unrelated undergraduate, working in web management right now but would like to change careers into accounting. Not finding much online regarding best steps to take. Appreciate any help;

@@nestor-martinez ​ @BryanCarretoCPA Bryan, I would also love a video on this as well! I'm in my early 40s, and would love to see the best way to get into accounting.

Sure thing! I am coming out with an entire series this year.

@@BryanCarretoCPA Thanks, Bryan! You are a lifesaver! 🙏

I'm glad this helped!

Yeah, a Bachelor's degree is needed to be a CPA and a certain number of classes within the accounting/business/ethics courses will be needed to register for the CPA exam. But, As Bryan mentioned in his video, with the shortage of CPA's that are to come, it is very likely that the AICPA will lower the bar of entry to be a CPA. I.e keep a look out for that in the coming months.

They increase the standard deduction and tax brackets to account for inflation

10000% fell the same way.. I LOVE doing it and its a super valuable skill.

I have someone already, but thank you

Thank you!

Thank you and don't be worried. You are there to learn and grow. What worries you the most.

@ what worries me the most is not getting that final offer in the end. I want to try my best and be the best to get one because it’s my 2nd internship.

It will enhance what we do, not replace accounting.

I appreciate you brother! Thank you for the support.

It would be the same advantages of working for any of the big firms. Growth, opportunities, and career advancement.

Yes but you still need a human in some parts.

Agree and Highly disagree. Some parts will but not completely.

@@imanuel3832 It will make us that more valuable.

@@BryanCarretoCPAI truly hope so. I’m terrified of Ai and offshoring taking everything.

they've been saying this before we were born lol

Thank you! What other skills do you think can apply that you have learned

I would continue to pursue your soccer career but at the same time keep that CPA as viable option that you can do. Soccer won't be forever but I am hoping it works for you! But get that CPA!!

You can age it either way... It's not wrong to do it either way. You can take it from the due date or the invoice date because it starts aging once you invoice the customer.

@@BryanCarretoCPA thank you so much for reply. Actually i recently joined big5th firm , and i was given this task to select samples from AR and i prepared aging after due date. i am looking for more such practical videos , these are really helpful. Thankssss.

@@eggmon420 that’s what I love to hear. I’m curious as to what other things might you be struggling with to make other videos
