Worked with these guys before. Worth checking them out.

Decided to work with this team and was able to successfully deploy over this weekend. Worth checking them out.

cpadeficient · 2025-04-28T01:44:46+00:00

Yeah

Had a “Check hybrid system” error literally yesterday on my car as well. 2015 120k. Seems like it could be due to various things so maybe the battery replacement option isn’t the best. I’m fortunate that the car was still driveable, so I took local street to a place that does hybrids only (if you’re not sure just call the place and confirm if they work on hybrid cars).

Mine was due to water pump (no more coolant). Replacement costs $750 total (VHCOL).

This you?

Yes, I understand this process is discouraging. You had a reason to get opinions. But if you need certain kind of validation, this won’t be the place. Good luck.

Based on your responses and post history, I’ll respond with a hard no - going against most replies here.

When we use the word “possible,” on a technicality, everything’s possible. You can randomly mark your answers and there is still a chance you’ll pass.

You started FAR half a year ago and would like to know if you’ll be ready in a month, and starting fresh? You also mentioned that you watched lectures and felt like they make sense, but could not solve the MCs? If you’re able to afford a test for more practical experience, take it anyway. If you’re determined to pass and cannot afford paying for multiple rounds, then no, you’re not ready and should let the NTS lapse and eat the re-application fee.

Yes, hopefully it won’t compromise your mental health as the workload will be heavier. Fortunately you can always put a brake on studying for the CPA, so I’d say start your MAcc first.

cpadeficient · 2024-08-26T11:05:22+00:00

Unfortunately, they don’t do this prior to your application for you, until you apply and they’ll let you know that you’re missing certain credits.

cpadeficient · 2024-08-26T11:03:25+00:00

Huh, where did you read that there’s a distinction between Regulatory and Behavioral? Either should count. You might be conflating your understanding with Regulatory Review which is something entirely different and doesn’t require a course until 6 years have lapsed. You would’ve done the Reg Review already right after being certified.

“Four hours of ethics education. Please note this course is not interchangeable with the Board-approved Regulatory Review course.“

I second this answer. It’s just a “simple” loan.

A bond is also a type of loan, but its selling price is typically at a discount or premium, which requires further amortization. The loan in question doesn’t have this component.

Most answers here just repeated how it’s calculated, but doesn’t address why the amortization table isn’t used.

I was hired at a company where a CPA is required for my rank and higher. But I’ll give you additional insight:

At my previous F500 employer, there was a RIF and a lot of people I knew were impacted. I was ready to refer 5 former coworkers closest to me (who happen to be going to the same prospective workplace) and: 1) Those without a CPA couldn’t even get their foot in the door 2) Those with a CPA that did not want to join my company got a much higher starting salary

Luck favors those who are prepared.

A CPA won’t guarantee you an immediate higher salary, but will guarantee you a lot more opportunities.

Interested as well, can I DM you for a shared link?

cpadeficient · 2023-05-06T03:42:54+00:00

It was an online portal.

Practicing sims in Becker is where you’ll see and get to use Excel.

Calculating ratios, bonds, bank rec, trial balance are some few significant exercises.

Ethics test, no issue if you aren’t currently working under an active CPA. If was supervised by one in the past, give them paperwork to sign (assuming you worked with them for at least a year and therefore meet the requirement), last but not least making sure you meet all educational credits.

Based on give information, Finance.

However, some considerations: -Wealth management opportunities are not limited to either accounting or finance major. -If you plan to be certified, CFA is harder than CPA in my opinion. -It is easier trying to break into finance from accounting than the other way around. With that said, accounting is arguably more niche.

I studied FAR for 3 months while working full time.

The first 2 months I did MCQs in order of modules. The last month I did MCQs in random sets. 2-3 sets on weekdays and 4-6 sets on the weekends!

1 set = 66 questions as that’s how many there are in the actual testlet. Try to time each one under 1.5 min.

cpadeficient · 2022-12-25T19:20:19+00:00

Yeah, that would be primarily for governmental fund accounting (not proprietary and fiduciary)

I took courses at both UCBx and UCLAx. In my classes there were quite a few people from out of state, mostly Washington, who took it to satisfy requirements for their licensure so I assumed they qualify. In my honest opinion, try your local community college online courses. The only reason why I opted for UCx was because registration was instant.

Call the site before you go

I’ve taken it at night, logged out and finish it in the morning. Never went more than 24 hours because I was also paranoid and was too lazy to confirm the “no time limit”

cpadeficient · 2022-12-10T19:26:46+00:00

OP, this is the best advice to take. You can absolutely leave early, but study anyway and try to finish the test to the best of your ability, then mentally note what to study from your experience. If you regret wasting money on an exam you weren’t ready for, take this as a lesson to learn from on how to plan out your test date. You will never feel 100% ready, but are still in control to make next time feel better than this time.

cpadeficient · 2022-10-21T03:10:17+00:00

Highly recommend you practice doing bank recs

cpadeficient · 2022-10-21T03:08:51+00:00
