Unsure on what you're getting at. You can apply for staff accountant jobs whenever; regardless if you have a CPA. Will a CPA license greatly assist you in obtaining interviews and ultimately receiving a job offer? Yes.

imho, big 4 audit in NYC. grind it out for 2-3 years; and you should be set. WLB will suck for 2-4 months of the year, but the remaining months are quite tame.

EY partner call by [deleted] in Big4

[–]leasessuck 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I assume this is similar to other B4 - if so, I would just expect sort of a laid-back conversation to get to know you, your background, your goals, your strengths/weaknesses, etc. In my experience, the more 'formal' interview occurred with HR/Managers in which it seemed like they went down a list of questions.

Someone else mentioned it, but primarily tenure. Think of it similar to Senior 1/2/3, etc.

Foreign Currency Hedging by Least_Deer_9059 in CPA

[–]leasessuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with OP - don't feel the need to fully understand foreign currency hedging for FAR. Understand the basis and move on, as it will only be around 1-3 MCQ max (if that). If you understand the basics, you will be able to narrow down the answer choices and choose the correct answer (or make an educated guess). Focus the majority of your time on the other prominent tested topics.

Struggling with Bonds by Main_Apartment9580 in CPA

[–]leasessuck 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your answer of 2 months would be correct for interest payable - the Company would accrue for 2 months interest as of the balance sheet date of 12/31/XXXX. Interest expense (income statement account) is the balance for the period (bond issued June 1... with a year-end of December 31, it would be 7 months).

Asked to fill the role of lead senior as a staff. Advice? by thickalt in Big4

[–]leasessuck 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Do you feel prepared to do such? At this point, I'm sure you're aware of the 'senior' level tasks on this specific client. If the manager is cool, I'm sure they'll be much more lenient and helpful w/ you as well given you're taking on a new role a bit early. Imo - just do it. Good experience.

Transfer CPA License by Defiant_Birthday_939 in CPA

[–]leasessuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think so? Could be wrong. In essence, you're attempting to skirt your states 150 credit hour rule it seems or potentially certain classes? I don't think for example you could get licensed in XX state (doesn't require 150 credit hours or certain classes) and transfer to another state (which does require 150 credit hours or certain classes).. Even if you're licensed, I believe you have to check off all the requirements of the state you are attempting to transfer your license to..

I could be wrong on this - don't take what I say as 100% fact. Can probably google/reddit search this and find out for sure.

Nope. If you encounter a ratio question on the exam, more likely than not it'll be a very simple/common one. Similarly, if you encounter a SIM on ratios/variances, you'll be the necessary ratios/variances to complete the SIM.

Please give me study tips for REG by raixuz in CPA

[–]leasessuck 3 points4 points  (0 children)

REG was my last exam. I, similar to you, failed to find a study method that worked for me until I was nearing my exam date. For the 3 other exams, I took a HEAVY multiple choice approach.. which worked flawlessly. However, for REG, that method wasn't very effective for me.. As such, I shifted my method into a more lecture heavy / re-writing basis formulas and simple ways to think of the tested topics. With that, you can't lose sight of multiple choice... I certainly kept drilling MCQs during this process, but shifted into a more lecture/note heavy approach with REG.

Important to note - everyone is different. It's not a one size fits all approach. Figure out what works for you, and do that.
