How much do CPA's make ? Actually my brother has done his MBA(finance) and wants to know his career options. How is CPA as a career ?
Does he have take one CPA test for all states or is it state dependent ? Can anyone add some more light on this ?
 
My cousin is a CPA. he never disclosed how much he made, but he said it was a really really good paying job. He said he travals alot, but not out of state. As for the CPA test, I think he said that each state has their own, with some being easier than others (He said MA was easier than NY). That explains why he doesnt traval out of state.
 
You can take the test in any state, and audit companies anywhere in the US. CPA is a very good job. It is not easy though. Many say it is more difficult than the Bar exam.

It used to be a 2 day test, and it is now a computer test where you take sections 1 at a time, 4 in all.

Salary depends on where you work, public or private, small firm or large.

Man, I need to get some up so you'll stop asking. Now if I can only find some non-bannable pics 😉
 
Basically yes. Once you pass, are you certified. Then you can sign off on company audits, etc.

If you work for a larger firm such as Ernst & Young, you will service clients all over the country, or maybe some just to your region. But definitely more than one state.

CPA's can make very good money. They also know how to manage their money, and get full utilization out of it. Qualified CPA's are in high demand right now, and will be for some time.
