Passing the CPA exams is when you study hard,if you can't study or you don't have time for your studies I'd advise you get yourself a help like Mr Dylan
Some ideas for video topics: - As a year 2 audit staff, I'd appreciate your input on how different jumping to industry actually is. I hear it's a completely different skillset. - Would you consider (if you haven't done so), taking the CMA or CFE exams? - Experience with Mexico or other foreign clients, if applicable (I'm very interested in international accounting!)
You should make a day in the life accountant vlog but go through what you're actually doing cause there's not much vids like that. I'm in tech right now and I really like how accountants have stability.
I’m definitely interested in a coaching call. I’m CPA already, but would definitely like personalized advice related to my situation. I don’t mean to be too pushy, but I’m willing to pay to make it happen before the end of the summer. Glad to have you back bro🤝
@@BryanCarretoCPAA video about the myths and realities of being a partner would be interesting. What are the KPIs or milestones that the firm considers when evaluating candidates for partnership? If it’s all about selling, what does that entail since audit and tax are viewed as commodities? We are not selling cars, so is it mainly about being top of mind when potential clients need a service? Are the work hours even worse? Is getting there a game of politics dominated by extroverts? etc etc
Currently active duty military. Will be graduating with my MSAcc next year and getting out the military. Any advice for trying to get into public accounting?
Great video Bryan! What are your thoughts on older people getting their BA/BS in accounting? I'm 42, always liked accounting but not sure if it's a younger persons game...thanks!
l think if you can go for it. Not sure where you are because it depends l have met quite a lot of people from NZ/Aus who seem to have no problems with that. They start off doing one thing or going straight to work and then having a career change much later in life. However, where l come from sadly we are not so open minded so usually it cannot be done, what l mean is you can pass but getting the positions becomes tricky. So think about that or unless you do not mind going to work for Govt or other such positions but like l said depends where you are. I think if you can try to find this guy CPA Strength, if l remember correctly he started doing his CPA around 40s like way after most do it but he did it and it went well for him. There is another one about a youngish fellow who used to be a professional seafarer who at about 30 decided to change and he did well culminating in him achieving his license and l think joining an audit firm. Las time l checked he was trying to become a lawyer whilst still doing his day job. Highly motivated fellow and he seems to show anything is possible. I stopped following him because of language issues. He mostly switched to Filipino at some point so could not follow. l understand he was doing it to be more relevant for his target audience sadly l was not able to understand but his story is simply inspiring. So do your research first and just go for it, if you are in the US there is a serious shortage and numbers are going down in schools and those taking the CPA exams. So why not? At the same time l have heard fresh out of college salaries can be as high as £65 000 well do not know how you see that but as a start that is simply amazing Bryan even said he was on 58 but that was 10 years ago so it makes a lot of sense. Anyway money should not be your main concern the job can be boring or taxing depending on where you work, who you work with or for and what role you are doing that is far more important l think. Anyway hope you found this useful. All the best.
Damn, I have the same feelings. I'm 47. I'm thinking of an accounting certificate to get 150 credits for CPA. I would think this is route would be easier than a tech role. Ageism is definitely a thing, I wonder if accounting is more forgiving than finance or tech.
I'm 47 and two years into my Bachelor's in Accounting. My viewpoint is that I already have some life and professional skills to bring to the table, and I have nothing to lose by pursuing this career. Time will pass whether I try or not, so I might as well do what I want to do. I worry about ageism, but that can't be a reason to give up.
