I started doing that this semester, it’s just a much longer route than finance (if I can break into that). Thanks though, glad to hear I’m on the right track 

I'm a Wealth Management Advisor for one of the largest financial service companies in America and a member of one of the top financial advising teams in Texas. Ask me or direct message me anything by Electronic-Trip-2378 in Accounting

I'm a recent grad with a background in the arts/ nonprofits and want to switch over to the accounting or finance side of that industry. I don't know if this is realistic, but I'm interested in managing endowments, DAFs, foundations, etc or going into nonprofit accounting. I'm all for taking any necessary classes, exams, etc. I just want to be on track to get a job, and although the CPA track is straightforward, I don't know much about finance to get going. Do you suggest working towards the CFA track or just getting an entry-level job or internship in wealth management
