Just curious, how are you going to get CPA? Don't you need work experience as well as exams for that?

Yeah a CPA isn’t just something you can go out and get like a Microsoft cert.

Actually you can, you just need to experience to get the charter. You can go pass the exam so long as you have the educational background.

The test is administered by aicpa, but this is a helpful starting point.

Yes to get the charter, you must have work experience. To take the exam, you do not.
