Does any firm actually support you while studying for the cpa exam? And if so, how? I’m not talking about paying for Becker or application fees, but more along the lines of are you allotted any time during the workday to study? How much? That kind of stuff. Just curious as to how different firms “support” studying and seeing if there is anything I can consider giving a try

See if you can do flexible work arrangement (reduced hour for reduced pay) if you really need the time. But I just worked morning and night on top of work. Do it before you are a senior.

PwC has 40hours of protected time (separate charge code) to study each year and a code for the day you take your exam. If you aren’t staffed on anything or have availability you can study all day…outside of that it really depends team by team.. I try to make it a priority to control enough of my associates schedule to allow them to take off a couple days/week before an exam and encourage them to do so. I also try to make sure they stop working at a decent time to allow for studying after work, take 1/2 days on fridays, and/or let them sign on an hour later to study in the AM, but at a certain point the work does need to get done, especially around quarters and deadlines so it doesn’t always work out perfectly

My firm let be study during the day and I know firms that do a lot study time… definitely would look into that before taking any reduced oay

I studied pretty much all day in slower times or would go into the office 2 hours early and study. You have to carve it in yourself
