Brehs is accounting a good major?

[GnauzBookOfRhymes]

I think it's just going to broaden the use case for auditors/require broader skillsets. Someone will still have to audit the models, etc. Also for public specifically, clients often provide the wrong shyt and are very unpredictable. There will also always need to be human judgment.

Absolutely. My advice was meant to try and future proof. Also not everyone ends up working with larger companies that require higher standards of review etc. I agree these larger clients will not entrust their financials to a program. But for smaller companies that might only require balance sheets/P&Ls for internal use etc I could see that market shifting towards some type of automated product.

The Controller left the company in 2020 and I got bumped up to the position. I’ve been holding it down for 2 years now. I swear I learn something new everyday.I have my degree in finance but started out at the company doing accounting.

The pay is A1 but I know I need to get my masters and CPA eventually.

What discipline are you trying to get your MBA in?

CPA Exam Changes and Pipeline Woes Are a Perfect Storm of Problems For the Profession

"Too much change, too quickly, can make our already difficult problems even worse," writes Surgent EVP Liz Kolar.

This is going to get people in my profession paid even more than we get now. Brehs, it's not too late, get into accounting and get paid luxuriously.

I would like to state, despite all my plea copping about not pursuing a CPA license, I've decided to do it after all this time. I actually started the journey in February. So far, I've taken and passed two exams, BEC and AUD. I'm studying FAR now and then REG is last. I'm hoping to get done this year. Why the change? Money. Given the scarcity of CPAS and given my preference of nonprofit work, I can still make an outstanding living, far better than I do now. I'm already over 100k here in Northwest Indiana. When my cfo retires and say I do get the job, I might not get the 215k a year she gets plus bonus but it's going to be in the ballpark.

This is retirement plan because I think I'll be able to add an additional 1m plus to the salary before it's all said and done with this CPA license.
