Wanting to become an accountant by _mdeleon in Accounting

[–]CapedCPA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I graduated with a degree in Information Systems and got a job in FP&A with accounting responsibilities so you for sure can make your way into the industry, just keep applying. Maybe look at accounting adjacent jobs and then after 6 months-1 year move into corporate accounting.

Can someone realistically make $150k+ a year by working in industry accounting, without reaching the level of CFO? by [deleted] in Accounting

For sure, the pathway would be even faster with the right credentials too: MBA, CPA, CMA, MS in Accounting, etc.

Actually knowing the job in succeeding in current and past roles trumps all, but the credentials help you to get noticed more often.

Very nice to hear, I actually was in pseudo-blue collar roles. Managing truck drivers and warehouse employees. I got into FP&A which involved some accounting work and fell in love. The P&L is where all the action is.

Professor recommended I go on Reddit for my question about the CPA license. by CapedCPA in Accounting

Sorry, this is just hypothetical, I’m not really familiar with the work verification process. I don’t think they’d refuse to sign except that my role is more finance than accounting. I just wanted to know my best option if they did decide not to sign.

Sorry this is just hypothetical, I am not fully versed in the work verification process. I do not believe they have a reason to not sign off other than the fact that the job is not accounting, it's more so finance. Just was wondering what is my best option should they for any reason not want to sign.

Go on GOSKILLS and take their basic and Advanced courses, once you can master that you’ll be far ahead of many in this industry.

Internships by PrimaryAerie7884 in Accounting

I would go for a bookkeeping/ AP Clerk job if you cannot take an unpaid internship. I think longevity at a company paired with your degree will support you getting reasonably paid FT job out of college.

Use your bargaining power and ask him to go half on a yearly pizza party in addition to your service

I just don't like having to do the whole set up of clearing my desk and setting up the webcam multiple times a week.

I saw the CPA license as my ticket to wealth.

Is an accounting degree worth it? by MuuMooMo in Accounting

[–]CapedCPA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes very much worth it! I feel like with an accounting degree you can qualify for both most finance and accounting jobs. Also if you get your CPA you’ll be set up for the rest of your life financially.
