how was the cpa exam?

Pfft CPA Exam?

Naw.. the CPA exam is for Accountants that cant think outside the box or just want to do Audits and Tax all day...

I am working on my CMA certification and CFA Cert... CMA (Cert. Managerial Acct) and CFA (Cert. Financial Analyist)...

I work more with processes and software development, i write databases for our accounting functions and help setup software for different areas of our business. I wear jeans and a Teeshirt to work... its a great job.. lots of thinking.. and i didnt have to spend 5 years at a CPA firm working 100 hours a week just to get my CPA and make the same amount of cash i make now...

My direct boss is the VP of finance and she is retiring as soon as my CMA and MBA are finished and i get her job... after that i can work on becoming the next CEO... which pays upwards of $250K a year + bonus...

i like my job... and i like the company... so yeah..

i have talked with older CPAs who told me that a CPA isnt what they thought it would be or that is isnt really needed.. they wished they had the coursework and experiance i had instead of 8 years experiance doing taxes and audits...

i do SOX compliance, Software development, Management functions, and analysis... its cake walk for me..

so no CPA:rockon:
