5 Reasons toTake the CPA Exam Right Away

[@provost1981]

Thanks for the video. I’m going to take mine this year. I should have taken when I got MBA in 2008 but better late than never. I’m 41

[@TheAccountingStruggle]

It’s NEVER too late!

[@aliciasworld5388]

I love your videos! After I’m done my masters, I’m going to take mine!

[@TheAccountingStruggle]

Thank you ☺️ you should-it’s so worth it

[@jossslinnn3574]

I wish I have started earlier😭. But yea it is what it is. Will just need to do it now!

This is where I'm at. I'm 34, recently divorced, work full time, and I have a 10&11 year old. I am going to push through, but this is going to be a lot of work! I've capped out at my career role. My boss is dope, but I realize that he wants a CPA to take our company further. So, I need to start working on my CPA cause in the startup world, they aren't taking me as serious.

I was non traditional as well (no kids yet) so I understand how priorities shift as you advance in life. I definitely know you can get it done but as you said, it will be hard work.

I wish I took all the exams when I was in grad school. I had enough credits and I took AUD in the middle of my first year of grad school and failed. Lost all my confidence and didn’t pick up again til I started at Deloitte in audit. It was almost impossible to find time to study bc I was commuting to Chicago everyday and I wouldn’t get home til 9-10 most nights.

[@TheAccountingStruggle]

It’s sooooo hard once you start working. It can be done but they traveling just makes it more inconvenient. You will need to study at some odd hours.

[@casimirj8562]

The Accounting Struggle exactly! I left my job after 6 months after joining and found a job closer to my home (only 10 minutes away!) I was able to pass all 4 parts in about a year (while working full time in industry). Still no easy task...but so glad I made the switch!

Whew the title made anxious 😂😂 like right now im not ready

[@TheAccountingStruggle]

😂😂😂don’t be scurred

Hi can you do a video on managing staff. This is my first year managing staff accountants and let me tell you it is work. I am younger than both of them and their personalities are complete opposites. I spend more time helping them work through issues than my own work.

[@TheAccountingStruggle]

Lol I can only imagine. I will add this to my list-thank you!

I will begin my preparation of studying towards the CPA exam in next month October, and I am starting my last year at University next week. I also want to use this preparation to help continue building up my confidence with my University studies. I will take the CPA exam after I graduate next year. And I am wanting to get my CPA license because I want my next career to be Forensic Accountant. Question: I am a U.S. Air Force Veteran now age 35 International (Black American) student at a UK University. I am curious of how it will work for me taking the CPA exam but I am attending University in another country (plan to do my MSc Forensic Accounting in the UK too) ? I have read that you have to choose a U.S. State to fully earn the CPA license. Do I just choose any U.S. State or I have to work and live in the State? Thank you for posting.

I am not 100% sure about the international requirements honestly. I found this article that may help. nasba.org/internationalexam/

I'm years out of college and I want to get my CPA but I have no clue where to start. Any suggestions?

[@TheAccountingStruggle]

Yes-it’s not too late at all. In my CPA playlist I have four videos on getting started with the CPA exam and another on the process of getting licensed. These should be helpful

[@hydeq-nachos4974]

Start with the state department that will be granting the license...

[@Ryno7822]

2017 Me: I can get this done in like 6 months 2020 Me: watching this video at 14:30 .....I feel attacked! -sigh- the struggle continues

[@TheAccountingStruggle]

Hahaha don’t feel attacked. It can be done fast with a solid plan but I just wanted to share that this can also be a long process if you aren’t careful.
