This is too funny 😂

Why are you using the term "income" when you have not deducted your expenses. Those amounts you referred to as "income" was your revenue.. You should use proper terminology, "take home pay" is your actual income because that was the amount that netted the revenues and expenses.

I just got my cpa is it worth it Hell no 😢 a bad spent $6,000. If you don’t want to be an accountant don’t do it. There are seniors with no cpa making more than me It’s who you know and who’s ass or balls you kiss to

CPAs should get crazy benefits. To me, it is the most boring, respected intellectual job.

😆tAKE the leap .. wait🤔

I feel like the end of your video contradicts your entire video. CPA helps you get more credibility, a better job, foot in the door for jobs you can't even have without it but they need to give you reasons to get a CPA. How is it that job security and better salary are not good reasons to become a CPA?

Very few jobs for accounting grads...

There is a similar issue here in the UK. The best ambitious university graduates aim for the top tier firms, forced to work outrageous hours for very mediocre pay, and risk getting fired if they fail their ACA exams because they're too busy trying to hit their filing deadlines. So many talented people are fired from the profession and then the firms complain that their remaining staff leave at the first opportunity post-qualifying for industry roles / other careers. The whole thing seems to be a pyramid scheme built on the sweat and grind of talented graduates while partners can often barely type an email.

120k year is ideal considering difficulty efforts and money we spent on CPA + there are hell lot of taxes in US so 120K is worth the effort i had offer of 60K USD from USA being CMA and CPA perusing , but i chose Dubai where i got tax free 80K USD . and its lot of savings for me in India so better then USA

Good idea, hire a cpa and pay above average for my business

Hi Logan, I'm Sumeet from India I'm thinking of pursuing CMA(US), IS there really a job scope in US or should i pursue EA i can pursue both as of interest so can you please tell the practical situation of CMA in US Please 🙂

Hell what?!?! Am a genZ who attracted to this course 😮 Am I going to get sucked in future ?!

Currently binging the vlogs. I am stealing this idea to help start my content game as well

"Almost the size of the sun" I lost it here 😂

GAAAARRRRRYYYY! Let’s freakin go Logan! You are killing it!

Thinking about switching careers from the F&B industry. Was in the culinary arts for.17 years. Meeting with a counsler and my first ever accounting techer next week to talk abour it

How bad is life as CPA? My mom wants me to go into the career and I am looking into it, but everyone says it a horrible.

Hey Logan, you and Gari seem to make a great team! That being said, what's the long-term plan for you, Gari, and the company? Would you promote/partner-up and hire a new preparer (expand the company)? Or wait until Gari moves on to his next big opportunity to hire a new employee (remain boutique)?

Just graduated from my masters program and was able to pass 3/4 so far. I start work full time in October(big 4) and will get in one attempt at FAR before then. FAR is so overwhelming honestly

Hey Logan - We sent you an email about a paid partnership. Did you get a chance to read it yet?

I thought this was Canelo😂😂😂😂😂

Congrats dear ❤❤❤ lots of best wishess

I graduated in 2012, didn’t have enough credits so I did a masters program while working and started studying in 2015. I passed BEC and AUD but life just took over….. now it’s 2024. I’ve been a manager and started my own side practice… looking to try again… I don’t need it necessarily, I’ve been able to make $130k without it… and I tend to stand out with my work compared to those who have CPAs but horrible people skills… my goal is to start a family and switch over to part time consulting and work at a high billing rate. Think the CPA would help me achieve that. And I’d probably want to become an accounting professor later later.

It is not only a US problem. I am from Malaysia and it is the same thing. Low pay, high workload, long hours, compliance heavy, low tolerance for mistakes. Anyone thinking of doing accounting please reconsider. 20 years in accounting and finally decide to leave.

Can a school degree owner start CPA or can be a CPA licensed in USA,if yes how long does it take. Thnx

Congrats! Welcome to the world of management/leadership. Like any skill it can be learned and it's a great skill!!! Congrats!

i feel great that i have subscribed to you ,

damn boutta be halfway thru community college to transferring to instate university for accounting to become a cpa one day. path doesn’t sound easy but glad i found your channel

Huge W

is Gary fully Remote? or so you work in same office?

Hiring is the only way to have a business worth having. Otherwise, you just have a job. It's frankly shocking how many tax biz owners are STILL in production after decades of owning their own firm. The only way to growth and getting one's time back while making more money is to hire quality people.

Yhe rnginerring community is the same. University is hell for most Engineering Students and in the end, ine hss to ask if, the effort is worth it.

CPA here graduates from big 4. I don’t care for accounting but I’m good with the life style it offers. So I do bare minimum for work, I build my own wealth with the rest of my time

A quick Google search shows that the 150 credit hour requirement became standard around the mid 80's or so exactly around the time period that the last of the boomers would've been graduating college. Now 75% of CPA's are still baby boomers in 2024. Old fuckers pulled up the ladder is what happened.

At least one of the big 4 firms has specified in their job postings that the EA is on equal grounds with the CPA and BAR exam (for Tax, at least). Two of the other ones are a little vague on it, and one has made it clear that only the CPA counts (strange world now).

Was the point of this video I’m cute?

Remove the 150 hour requirement. Accounting is not an intelligent profession to begin with.

What is the salary of a CFA

Honestly, it comes down to decades of terrible treatment from Big 4-5 and other major public accounting firms that took their approach as the norm. All the discussions that EVERY student accountant heard as they were studying were true: 1. terrible hours 2. treated like children 3. ridiculously low pay considering the bachelor and designation requirements 4. having to still study while working (even after designation) 5. New emerging industries (like tech) AND old blue collar industries that began to pay just as much or significantly more for less effort and time I'm just surprised the industry didn't collapse sooner. However, the silver-lining is that for people who are still around, many of their salaries have gone up a decent amount because of all this shortage. TLDR you reap what you sow public firms.

CPA is the prestige credential. A CPA has proven competence through education, continuing professional education, experience, and testing. This is not true for EAs and non-credentialed persons. I have found that CPAs overall are much more ethical than non-CPAs. I have been a CPA since 1971.

Three things: low pay, poor work life balance, and too clumsy to get a CPA license. First and second are pretty obvious; no one wants to work 60+ hours a work on the regular for slightly more than a similar industry 9-5. Third one baffles me. Why we don't have a federal set of standards for CPA licensing requirements is insane. On top of that, the current procedure for getting a license is expensive and clunky. $1000 just to take some exams isn't money a lot of prospective exam takers have, let alone expensive review courses and material. Until the process is modernized, people will continue to avoid becoming CPAs altogether.

Can't relate - didn't have the luxury to take a year off due to industry change after 26.

I'm doing a bachelor's in accounting, how can I move to the US.

An accountant not realizing the profit they make doesn’t match the amount of work they do is the most ironic thing I have ever heard in my fkn life 😂 Also have you ever considered being a model?

I was a master of accounting from a top university and a CPA. My 1st big 4 tax job paid me 54K/year in 2019 plus long hours and toxic bosses. I left after 1.5 years for industry. I’ll never go back to public accounting when I have a choice.

Did you study accounting as an undergrad as well?

I live in the metro Atlanta area and just graduated college in December. Then I completed an internship with a public accounting firm which I have 3 really good references from but could not go full time as my dad is a client. Now I have applied to over 60 jobs and had multiple interviews which I thought went really well but can’t find a single one who will take me. There must not be a shortage

The dance at the end FTW

Cheers you sexy cpa! 😉

I got 3 semesters left before I get my bachelors in accounting. I’m planning on my masters and getting my CPA. Should I start studying for my CPA exam now ?
