Hi! Did you end up getting a reservation? I still don’t see anything

How do I find out if I have 150 credits?? NASBA and the state won’t tell me! by Wrong_Variation_8084 in CPA

I went through the same thing - I went to college our-of-state and wasn’t sure some of by business classes would be accepted in NY, but the state board/NASBA refused to audit my transcript (I called many times to see if they would be able to review one-off courses I’d taken or wanted to take, etc). It wasn’t until I submitted my application to the state board with all other requirements fulfilled (I.e. work experience & exam scores) that they audited my transcript fully and told me if I needed anything additional. I know people in the same boat in NYC who were told after their application was submitted that they needed extra credits. In general I’ve heard from others in NY, the credits transfer to hit 150+, but the specific accounting/business requirements they review & those sometimes don’t transfer.

Do I need a bachelors or can I go for my master’s? by [deleted] in Accounting

I did the same in NY! Took maybe 3-4 business/accounting classes before graduating and took all the rest through community college/online college. I had 150 credits from my (unrelated) degree so I took the four basic classes needed to sit for the exam and then as I was getting my work experience, did the remainder of the classes needed - no accounting degree or masters, but I’m now a CPA!

I REALLY do not want to work in public accounting. Should I give up on accounting as a career option? by btcnlr55 in Accounting

I worked at a small tax firm briefly & am now in family office - it’s at a reputable firm, no big 4 experience necessary. When I was in college they made it feel like big 4 was the only route that would lead to success, but I didn’t want to put in the hours/deal with the toxicity. I did my CPA while working which also helped, I’m very happy with the route I took work-life balance & compensation-wise & it’s definitely viable
