Passing the CPA exams is when you study hard,if you can't study or you don't have time for your studies I'd advise you get yourself a help like Mr Dylan
@ I am in my Senior yr and strongly considering audit as the field I’d like to pursue. I look forward to watching your other videos as I have had a hard time visualizing exactly what it looks like to be an accountant. Thank you for putting out this content and keep it up for us who see the value in this material!
Question Joey, I secured a Deloitte Internship in Audit, and I want to start preparing for the FAR part of the CPA exam. Roughly how much should I need to prepare for it before I schedule it? This semester I’m taking intermediate accounting I, and still need to take intermediate accounting II. I want to at least have FAR done by graduation, in August 2025. Thanks!
Hey, so are you in a state that allows you to take it before graduation? I would say you need about 30-60 days to prepare and would recommend scheduling it at the start of your study journey and then working towards that date. Because one thing you need to realize is how important that first attempt is. Just get it scheduled and get it under your belt. But this also depends on how much time per day you can allocate for studying. If you're going to study 3-4 hours a day then 30-50 days should be good. But it also just depends on how comfortable you feel with the material. But congrats on the internship! That's awesome!
@ thank you so much man for all the tips and videos, not sure if you remember but we spoke a couple of months ago.. you’ve been alot of help for me in this field. Thanks for the response, have a great week!
like what cities? I think it's not super important. Obviously the bigger cities like New York, LA, Miami, Chicago, etc. will have more opportunities than smaller job markets but you can still have a great career in a smaller city. You just have to work hard, no matter where you are
@@devanshuR1yeah Seattle is great. And I don’t know if anyone who has done the CMA after the cpa, at least not early in their career. It definitely wouldn’t hurt but I honestly don’t know how much it would help either. I think with cpa you’ll really stand out but if you have the drive and ambition to do CMA as well im sure it will look good on a resume. But it’s definitely not necessary
im thinking about going for accounting in college and have been doing my research on it, do u think it's still going to be a good career path now and in the future?
I do. I think anyone who is interested in business could benefit from an accounting degree. It gives you a lot of career flexibility and different paths you can go down. It was perfect for me as I didn't (and still don't) know exactly what I want to do. There are plenty of ways my career could go. And it's essential to understanding a businesses finances. Even if you aren't an 'accountant' but have a different role, understanding accounting will be vital. It's much better than just a business degree in my opinion
Hey man thanks for the info! Great video! do you do any type of consulting or give any type of one on one advice? I’m new to the accounting field and would like to get some career advice. Or maybe reach out to you on LinkedIn?
Hey man, glad you liked it! And yeah I love talking with you guys and trying to help out. Message me on linkedin and we can talk more. Find me here: www.linkedin.com/in/joseph-arnold-1a0635290/
There's a lot of kool-aid to drink when doing all the accounting/CPA work. Tempting with the money being paid, but its important to think of the hours being sucked away from your family. Interesting career you can have though.
definitely. It can become its own world and people do get sucked into the kool aid. But i think most 'normal' people can hopefully see the truth of the situation and realize life is about a lot more than a 9-5 (or in some cases a 9-midnight)
@@JoeyCPA is this really always the case? i heard that the big 4 are hell, but after you get the experience and title, you can switch to private companies and have a lot more work life balance, sometimes at the cost of salary though. i really want to do accounting but i'm getting a little older and scared of being in a trap of being a corporate hustler until retirement.
@@iAmplify7big 4 can be hellish during busy season but it just depends on your client. But that’s no reason to not get into accounting. Companies outside the big 4 usually don’t have as bad of hours, but again it depends on your client. At the end of the day it is a corporate job though so it is typical corporate stuff and hours you have to deal with. If you’re ok with that then accounting could work, if not stay away
i use excel, obviously. But some other ones firms are really pushing for are; powerbi, data snipper, and alteryx. If you are good in any of those your team will be very thankful

People keep talking about Dylan all over
UA-cam,he must be a very awesome help
you're correct but remember heaven helps those who help themselves, try studying if you can't study then get yourself a good help
I studied for months and couldn't pass, I guess passing is a blessing
CPA exam might seem so tough to pass but studying very hard is a very vital skill to win trust me.
Everyone has their own way, Dylan worked for me and studying didn't .
Thank you for the videos. Great insight
of course! Glad you enjoyed!

Hey bro which locations do you really think have the most growth and pay potential for Cpa ? or is it something which is immaterial .
like what cities? I think it's not super important. Obviously the bigger cities like New York, LA, Miami, Chicago, etc. will have more opportunities than smaller job markets but you can still have a great career in a smaller city. You just have to work hard, no matter where you are
@@JoeyCPA is seattle good for a headstart ? also do you recommend doing cma after cpa will it add value in the resume ?
@@devanshuR1yeah Seattle is great. And I don’t know if anyone who has done the CMA after the cpa, at least not early in their career.

@JoeyCPA how about baltimore? 🤔
Dang, even for a HCOL $94k is a good amount. I am in MCOL and I got $77.5k for Audit....not a Big 4 though
yeah man i was shocked when i heard that offer, very crazy indeed
Explain about CPA complete process

Should i do my masters before cpa?
a lot of people do them at the same time. I think that would be best if you're able to
Do you have any of these numbers for Canada?
unfortunately I have no personal experience in Canada so all I'd be able to get you is the same info Google would tell you
