Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.
If interested Pls DM or reply

I did my ACCA in the UK and then the CPA in the US. A few things to note
1. You’ll need to apply to sit the exam which means you need to meet 150-hour (college credit) requirements. Each state has slightly different qualification requirement. I used a credential evaluator service and applied through California to get eligible to sit for the exam. It took a few months for the process to play out
2. The exams are a lot easier than the ACCA / ICAEW exams. You will not have a problem. Hardest thing is learning US tax.
3. US visas are the biggest challenge. It’s really difficult to get sponsored these days. It’s a lot easier to work for a multinational / big 4 account ting firm overseas and get transferred to the US on global rotation.
4. GAAP isn’t crazy different. There’s a lot of checklists that help bridge between IFRS and US GAAP. I suspect the same is true for UK GAAP.
Had a friend do the same and I’d also mention it was much easier to get a job if you prove you’re already living there/ have an address and can interview in person. Places don’t want to pay relocation fees. Another easy way to do this is to get a secondment after working at a large firm in the UK for a bit with offices in the US
You will generally need a CPA to make manager at large firms. Assuming you are early in your career, I wouldn’t worry about picking up GAAP. New hires out of college know basically nothing so I don’t think you will be much behind.
It’s not meant to be harsh or a knock. I also knew next to nothing when I started. Still feel like I know next to nothing lol
