Hi all,
I am in my late 20's and a recent Accounting MBA graduate
looking for work in the Public Accounting field. I was
advised by my professors and the career office to pass my
CPA exam first so I have studied for and passed 3
sections of the CPA exam and I am awaiting the score for
the REGS section.
I know that the licensure requirement for a CPA in New
Jersey are stringent with 1 year of experience working
under a licensed CPA with at least 25% work in Audit
(Somebody please correct me if I am wrong).
In my case my prior experience is in the Insurance
industry (1.5 yrs right after undergrad). I am interested
in becoming a licensed CPA because this a career path I
want to pursue.
I have been applying to a variety of firms, mostly public
but also in private accounting and others. I have an
interview coming up for a "Tax Analyst" position with an
investment firm.
My question is: If I want to become licensed as a CPA in
New Jersey after passing 4 parts of the exam, should I
consider employment in such a position where I am sure
there is no audit opportunities and I probably will not
be working under a CPA?
Any advice would be appreciated.
