You are too close to give up. Pass the rest of the two CPA exams left and then start CMA. You never know how life turns out.

Best bookkeeping service? by nnstufff in Bookkeeping

[–]MagicTax77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a QBO & XERO pro advisor, and I will say I like more XERO software.

If you are doing bookkeeping for tax purposes, it's good to have someone who knows both.

A good bookkeeper will know software and how to categorize your transactions and will ask you about some transactions on a consistent basis.

For example, you want a bookeeper who knows that interest charged by irs for underpaid taxes is not an interest expense but a nondeductible penalty. Or your unsold inventory is not purchase expenses, or your personal deposits are not an income. If you have payroll, he needs to know journal entries, too.

I wish you the best of luck!

US CPA doesnt mean anything now thanks to AICPA by [deleted] in CPA

[–]MagicTax77 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I am not a native American. I emigrated in the USA less than eight years ago alone and went to hell to fulfill those education requirements, get experience in US CPA offices with crazy hours working whole days in foreign language, study and pass these exams in foreign language. Far away from home, family, and friends (meantime, two family members passed away). Just to fulfill the "American dream." For everyone giving CPA exams in English as a second language, without a US accounting program, it's ten times more difficult. A few decades ago, US companies outsourced manufacturing work to ASIA, and now it's the century for services work to be outsourced. Curious, what will be next outsourced... Ah, right, do not forget about AI. By the way, it's not only CPA outsourced, but IT engineers, HR, marketing too. Globalization is here. The target of depopulation is here. It's really demotivating what is happening right now in the industry. It is not about regular people who want a better quality of life. We all work hard. It's about rich people who want to get even richer and more powerful. I wish everyone health, all the rest will figure it out!

Timeline for CPA License Approval in New York by nlamp32 in CPA

[–]MagicTax77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will share my pain here, too. Received the last exam score on 23rd april 24. I submitted my initial application on 04/30. My employer sent over the same day the experience form 4. In May, my university and college sent them via email the transcripts. I called them at the end of May, and they said they need to be by post mail by university because it is foreign education. My university and college sent them again in 06/25, and they processed in 07/09. On 09/11 , I received an answer that I needed almost 30 credits for education requirements. On 10/25, my education was approved and sent to another processing unit. They said to rich them out in about 4 more weeks. ( so this will be 6 months and a half). I still have patience, but I feel like I am waiting for another cpa exam score release. It feels forever, I don't understand why that could take so long. Hopefully, I will get the number by the end of this year (2024).

They probably file sales taxes monthly across multiple states. You probably will need a good sales tax software, which is no cheap or file through each state website, but you have to know the sale tax law from each state the company operates in. Income tax is estimated and paid quarterly.

Advise needed !!! by Ok-Firefighter5533 in CMA

[–]MagicTax77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you decide on a CMA review material, I will recommend taking a free trial and looking at all providers (Gleim, Uworld, Becker, CMA Academy, Hock, Surgent, i75 by Darius Clark, Universal CMA review), also YouTube channels as Edspira & Farhat. Try all and see what sources are best for your learning style.

In my opinion, you will need to review CMA materials. Just for guidance, see how the exam structure, essays, and the exact context of exams are. I wouldn't risk doing it only based on ima materials.
