I am not a mom. But I am thinking about starting a family. My husband wants kids and luckily he is an equal partner. I am more on the fence because I feel like I am just starting my career and about to pass my final cpa exam. But I’m going to be 32 this year and I feel like my window is going to pass shortly on kids. Were you ever on the fence about kids? How do you juggle advancing in your career and kids?

The CPA exam is a scam. Plain and simple. No room for debate. If you disagree you’re wrong. Sorry not sorry.

Hi everyone! currently i’m an undergrad majoring in accounting. I’m thinking abt hitting that 150 credits by doing a master degree. Should i study my Masters in Accounting or something related to Tech? Do that extra 30 credits need to be something related to Acct to sit for the CPA exam? What would be an ideal master to pair w a bachelor in accounting? I’m an international student so i hope i would find a job that’s going to sponsor H1B visa! Thank you~

Can any recent grad who has started or passed the CPA exam give me advice on how to go about the exam process/the timeline of it all? I graduate with 150 in May and plan to test in Virginia. I’m unsure when to start studying and when to apply to take the exam. I want to test as soon as I can once I graduate but I’m worried I might miss a deadline or get pushed back due to application processing time.

With the new CPA format coming in late 2023/early 2024, does anyone know if existing credits will be transferred over? Say, for example, you have 2 exams passed before the CPA Exam changes (AUD and FAR), would the credit Transfer over as long as your 18 months don’t expire, or would you lose credit and be forced to start over?
