I've had 6 internship interviews for an accounting position this summer and in every single one of them, theyve asked me why I chose accounting. And I always say: this is going to sound funny to you... but I was inspired because of Sara Marie. And I go on and talk about you and your channel and all your accomplishments in about 2 mins.
Definitely agree with your comment on the CPA. Although it might not be a requirement in industry, it definitely sets you apart and is noted as required or preferred on higher level job postings. That’s why I decided to get it as well. Love your videos!
Love your vlogs / days in the life! They're so insightful, it's interesting to see what other accountants do during the day :D You always inspire me with how much you have on your plate but you're able to juggle it all!! Btw you are GLOWING!! Hope you, baby and the family are doing great!
Thanks for sharing! I have a Bachelors degree in Accounting and used to be an accounting clerk at a logistics company. I wanted to be a staff accountant but there was no room in the company for another one during the 4 years I worked there. I then had to quit working due to severe chronic migraines. I definitely miss being an accountant sometimes because I loved my job. Best wishes and I enjoy watching your videos!
I work for a mid-size property and casualty insurance company in their corporate accounting department as an entry level accounting technician. When I graduate with my bachelors in accounting in December, I’m going to be promoted to an accountant. I’ve worked there for 3.5 years and I’ve been told not to do the CPA or get my MBA because our company doesn’t require it for promotions. Not only that, they don’t help you financially. They will only help with tuition reimbursement for undergrad degrees. This is a major disappointment to me as I really want to be a CPA. 😔
I currently work in the private industry. They require the accounting manager and up to have a CPA, but the current accounting manager does not. 🙃 I’m still working to get my CPA (which I will get reimbursed for once I pass 🙌🏾) but there’s no telling what the future holds and if I’ll be at this company until I retire.
Watching your video, I remember my job as a general accountant when I lived in Vietnam. I have moved to America for 4 months, I really want to work as an accountant here , but it’s difficult for me to pursue it, I don’t know how to begin !!! Feel so sad!!!
I’m Vietnamese too and I understand how difficult it is to start a new journey in a foreign country. It’s challenging but it’s worth it! Don’t give up. Difficulties will just make you stronger and stronger. Stay positive. Continue to pursue your career as an accountant in America. One day, you will be proud of yourself for overcoming all challenges. You can do it!
Maybe you can keep those repeated questions that have been ask in a website (like a Frequently Ask Question - FAQ website with link) so that they could refer to website and you could direct them to that link
SO glad I found your channel! I’m in college right now majoring in accounting. I’m leaning towards auditing by not sure 100% if I want to do audit or tax yet! Great video 🤗 I do college lifestyle videos too💕
All CPAs are accountants but not all accountants are CPAs. If you are in NYC, CPA and master's degree are not uncommon for young accountants. So, non-CPA applicants have a very slim chance to secure accounting jobs there.
Hey there, thanks for your insightful videos. My query is what is your opinion on the usefulness of the CMA (certified management accountant) accounting designation for people in private accounting because I have often read that it is considered more relevant than the CPA for private accounting jobs. Thanks
Hi Sara, I love your videos and have found them very interesting. I am thinking of going back to get my accounting degree when my son goes to pre k in a year. However, I will be 39 next month and have been told that it's kind of late to be trying to get a degree in accounting because I would be about 44 when I graduate and would have problems finding employment. I would like to know how you feel about this or maybe seen this happen in accounting. Also would it even be worth it at my age? Would really appreciate your opinion.
I am a senior in accounting school and there are actually quite a few people in my classes who are over 40. I wouldn’t let that stop you. I’ll be 36 when I graduate. I had babies and was a stay at home mom for several years and then went back to school.
Thank you so much for the video!!❤️ I love seeing accounting videos(: I’m still waiting for the university to respond to me if I will be accepted to the business program
Hi Sara! I hope all is well I also work at an insurance company. I have my bachelors degree in communications so I am not in our accounting department however my company does pay for a majority of higher education. I was hoping to get a more direct scope for my masters and was leaning to accounting or finance since math was always my favorite. I was wondering if you had any advice on going into one of those masters with a different bachelors degree and if you think it would be possible to move into the accounting department in my current company or if I would have to leave because I really do love the company. Thank you!
Many people I know double majored in both accounting and finance and took the cpa exam. I think accounting classes are necessary to both pass and get the qualifications needed to test.
Thank you! Currently on the track for a finance degree and many professors say accounting is an option for finance major. I just don’t know if I want to invest my bachelors in one specific career like accounting, since finance is very broad. But, I’ll see when I take my accounting class.
Accounting consists of very basic mathematics like substraction addiction etc but if you love maths i recommend it to you though you don't really need high mathematical aptitudes in accounting.
An accounting major here really like watching a genuine video like these!
I’m an accounting major too!!

In order to be a CPA do you have to get your Masters or just Bachelors?

Youre one of my motivation, currently 3rd yr in college
I went the tax route for 10+ career. I really enjoy tax so much I got Masters in Taxation. Are you able to work from home? You are so glowing.
I’m currently a junior majoring in accounting but leaning towards audit. How did you decide between tax or audit??🤗
Interesting, Thank you for sharing. I always wonder how or what an accountant does. Cute outfit, very comfy for office work.
Just found your channel! I love it!
Thanks for this video. I’m am going into the accounting once I get out of the military. This lets me know that I can go somewhere in this field. 😁
Thank you for your service. Good luck to you on your new journey when you get out of the military.

How long did it take you to go from regular accountant to senior accountant? Also, what are the major differences in responsibilities and pay?
Luis M she did a video on this. 5+ years to be a senior.
good job ,it is useful for so many people.
Warg in from sweden! So thankful for this 😃
Hey there, thanks for your insightful videos. My query is what is your opinion on the usefulness of the CMA (certified management accountant) accounting designation for people in private accounting because I have often read that it is considered more relevant than the CPA for private accounting jobs.

Do you have a video on how you organize your work/emails?
I thought you said 60 yrs at first and was like💀 hold up you look 25😭
Hi Sara, I love your videos and have found them very interesting. I am thinking of going back to get my accounting degree when my son goes to pre k in a year.

Don't let your age be a barrier, go for it :)
I was thinking the same thing! Although I’m already in junior in college. I’ve decided to switch majors. I think you should just go for it.
I am a senior in accounting school and there are actually quite a few people in my classes who are over 40. I wouldn’t let that stop you. I’ll be 36 when I graduate. I had babies and was a stay at home mom for several years and then went back to school.
Thank you so much for the video!!❤️ I love seeing accounting videos(: I’m still waiting for the university to respond to me if I will be accepted to the business program
Jacqueline Ramirez were rooting for an approval for you! Best of luck ❤️

My favorite kind of video, pregnancy looks good on you girl♥️
Really fun video!
Hi Sara! Just curious why you don't work from home as an accountant??
I work from home one day a week. The type of work I do is a lot easier to do in the office with double monitors!
Blessings to you.
Did you switch to the simplified planner for work too?
Yes!
Yes!
Would love to see an updated video!
im amazed people still ask if the CPA is worth it or not. Wake up people ! Stop kid yourselves
Is it
Is hart to find jobs for a graduated accounting Frish out of college?
Not in my experience! Having an internship and contacts from accounting clubs definitely helps!
Hi mam... I have a question... Since u r pregnant... Please tell us about the maternity leave procedure in your company...
Would it be hard to get a CPA as a bachelors in finance major?
Many people I know double majored in both accounting and finance and took the cpa exam. I think accounting classes are necessary to both pass and get the qualifications needed to test.

Can i know what are the best affordable laptops for accounting students?
Is accounting a good job for someone who likes math?
Accounting consists of very basic mathematics like substraction addiction etc but if you love maths i recommend it to you though you don't really need high mathematical aptitudes in accounting.
Feli Ciana thank you so much for the information that is very useful
Does your department file the tax returns or is that outsourced?
Did you earn a BBA in Accounting or a different degree? Thank you! 👍
How many hours per week do you work as a senior accountant?
