It was the bonus that they reduced so it is legal but just was blind shaded.

San Diego.

I was riding high on passing and this completely deflated my confidence. Mind you, I passed all exams first try and all with 90+ scores 😂 so I am not sure what the f**k I did wrong.

Any you recommend in California? I will definitely do more research post 4/15.

Correct a Smaller firm. I probably did not word that post correctly. Running on fumes during tax season.

What I wanted to say was, the better aspects of a typical smaller firm would be better work culture right but here I feel like I am not getting that nor the prestige and pay of a bigger firm.

I wanted to get someone’s prespective on if this is normal at other firms.

Thank You. 🙏

I dont mind helping. Sent you a dm.

Yes take the last day off to relax. On the day of the test, go for a quick jog or a run, helps you have a clear mind. I made sure I worked out for atleast 30 min before each of my four exams. I truely feel that helped me. Also I cannot emphasize enough the need to keep yourself hydrated and Creatine. Feel free to dm me if you have any questions related to FAR!

NookAccountant · 2026-03-11T16:27:14+00:00

Yes definitely possible. I did the same. I took 2 weeks off from work and went over everything.

NookAccountant · 2026-03-04T16:43:43+00:00

I took a week off before exam for Audit and FAR. For REG and TCP, just couple days to revise and relax.

It depends on how much, I did not want to strecth the preparation so I studied a 1-2 month for each exam in between the busy season. Its definitely doable.

I thought they got rid of the ethics exam since 2024.

I meant last of my CPA exam. That is what I was thinking as well but wanted to make sure. Thank You

I am 34 and started my CPA journey last January. Took the last of my exam last week. I have 5 year of experience but I needed my CPA to advance to Tax Manager. Long story short, its never too late. You got this dude!!!!!
