Any CPA’s? How long did it take you to finish/prepare for the CPA and pass it?

cpa
ballershotcaller24 asked:


Im about to start a career in a Big 4 CPA Firm and im currently 22 yrs old, just wanting some opinions/experiences/stories about how you prepared and got through the CPA exam while working full time, etc…. Anything helps…reading stories and experiences helps calm me down. I tend to over-procrastinate…this is one way of me procrastinating
I actually just graduated and will start working for a Big 4 firm in a week (September), but I have not looked at the CPA just yet. Im in the tax division so its gonna be in the middle of busy season so Im afraid that the CPA exam will just keep getting pushed back for me. I cant get promoted without it and I’m feeling the pressure to apply already…but I want to feel out the job first and have co-workers to ask about regarding the exam. THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP, KEEP THEM COMinG!!
PLEASE ALSO GIVE ME INFO, IF YOU CAN, AS TO WHAT I PART SHOULD I TAKE FIRST. I KNOW I WOULD TAKE THE REGULATIONS PART SINCE IM IN TAX, BUT I WANT TO KNOW WHAT YOU GUYS WOULD THINK I SHOULD TAKE FIRST. I have Becker review for free, just wanna know what i need to take THX
You’re probably my co-worker if you work in L.A. Steve
Note from above, not steve, but Double D
