Getting your CPA can be a very confusing and stressful process for some, but once you get all your facts aligned, it may be easier to see that end goal of CPA licensure. The Fisher College of Business hosts CPA representatives throughout the school year who provide office hours to answer exam questions. Also, during orientation, several CPA courses give a brief presentation breaking down the information in more detail. I will discuss some common information about the exam.
Everyone will tell you something different, so here is my own take on my experience with juggling the MAcc program, CPA exam prep, and a part-time job. For reference, I am taking 8 credits this quarter (or 15 for the semester), work 10 hours a week, and study about 20-25 hours a week for the CPA. I am here to tell you, you can do it! It may take an extra cup of coffee in the morning but it is completely doable.
My thoughts on taking the CPA exam as soon as possible.
While walking around campus today, I saw someone wearing a shirt that said, “Hard work pays off later, laziness pays off now.” While I had to laugh at the comical shirt, I have not adopted the strategy of reaping immediate rewards this quarter in the hopes that my hard work pays off exponentially in the future. Last week, I skipped taking a trip on the last “Spring Break” of my life to study for the BEC & REG exams the entire week.
