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'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.

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.

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

@CPACareerPaths 4 жыл бұрын

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!

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!

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.

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.
