What's a CPA?
A Certified Public Accountant is a licensed professional who has met specific education, examination, and experience requirements set by a state board of accountancy.
These requirements can vary by state, and usually include:
● Passing the CPA Exam
● 150 credits (one course more than a bachelor’s degree).
● At least 1 year of supervised work experience in accounting.
● Ongoing education to maintain a license.
Why would you want to be a CPA?
A CPA is considered the gold standard in the accounting profession and can open doors to higher-level roles and increased earning potential.
