Do all new hires come in CPA eligible? Are there any that just come in with their Bachelor’s and then take classes online to get their 150 credits while working?

Yeah I know people at PwC who do that, most people I know either did that or just had enough from undergrad.

I'm pretty sure CPA eligibility is a requirement for college graduate hires at Crowe. However, I know we extended some interns offers despite them not being eligible for CPA. But they had to have a plan to become eligible.

Not at RSM. CPA eligibility is a requirement for employment. I graduated in the summer and my final transcripts didn't post til August. I had a touch and ho period with HR about employment eligibility.

Yes.

Depending on the line of service, it's a requirement in a lot of big firms, but not necessarily in smaller regional firms. I finished my classes at a smaller firm and then went B4 after.

Depends on the firm. I worked at one where they had staff who were doing online MBA’s or a part time masters to hit the 150.

Thanks. Was asking for a friend who’s still in school!

I know for a fact that CPA eligibility is required before starting at GT

I did this. Was eligible to sit for the exam, but not to apply yet. Getting my last units during the summer.

I know some would start and had to do online classes to get to 150. They usually talked it out with the firm, since the firm wanted to mainly make sure they had a plan to get it (if they didn’t have it already).

The problem is that within an HOUR she has lost all patience with the baby. She gets frustrated so quickly if the baby is crying and will say things like “I’m just going to let her cry since nothing im doing helps” (cont)

I have been told not to bill for this but if I didn't have to spend time to do such things my billable hours would be higher
