Failing the CPA is the Norm

Passing the CPA exam takes over 6 attempts on average 😵

That’s what it takes to get through all 4 sections of the exam. Not an easy feat at all.

🧐 Occasionally you'll hear someone say that CPA’s aren’t any better than non-CPA’s. That's true.

But it’s not a competition and the exam isn’t a test of smarts or talents.

—-----------------------------------------

🎯 The CPA signifies accounting expertise, but also someone's:

◽️ Ability to self educate 
◽️ Dedicated work ethic
◽️ Sustained internal drive 
◽️ Unwavering focus
◽️ Willingness to make sacrifices for your career

💪 CPA’s aren’t scared of a challenge. They don’t rely on shortcuts and limit themselves to quick wins. They don’t cut and run when things get tough.

—-----------------------------------------

Sure, the CPA signifies accounting knowledge. But it’s all the other things that make it so valuable.

Those other qualities of a CPA should mean more to a future employer than simply proving you have accounting expertise.
