IT is good to consider becoming a Certified Public Accoutant, or CPA. CPA’s are a vital part of any strong business or organization. In all three major areas of the accounting industry (Public, Private and Government) the CPA skill set is valued and respected as the pinnacle of professional achievement.
Being a CPA has the following advantages:
Prestige and respect
They are respected and admired by their peers, clients, and social circles. Through their training and experience, their virtues, ethics and character are tested as well as their technical and academic proficiency.
Money and benefits
Naturally, if you love what you do, the money comes less important. But, it is still a major factor in choosing a career path.
Job satisfaction and variety
In today’s financial environment accounting is an intensely vibrant field full of opportunities for travel, excitement, and job satisfaction.
As the global economy becomes an increasing reality, the United States is preparing to embrace International Financial Reporting Standards. This will require a new brand of globetrotting CPA to enter the marketplace, prepared to be multilingual, multicultural and aware of international business practices.
CPA’s are multi-faceted professionals capable of performing a variety of highly specialized job functions, including, but not limited to:
- Tax advisory services
- Business consultation
- Auditing
- Internationally Financial Reporting
- Information Technology
- Management consultation


Career Security
An accounting career gives CPA’s the sense of belonging in the business world. In a time when the financial institutions are claiming bankruptcy, the national economy is in recession and a little job stability goes a long way.
Personal Growth
The skills acquired in training to become a CPA will give confidence to the person. The money and prestige gained will allow CPA’s to have the finer things in life. Contrary to myths, there is no need to be a math genius. In fact, although math skills are important for anyone to have, a person only need average level maths knowledge to excel as CPA.
