Congrats on the sponsored video! How time has flown since the final pass. My experience was very different from yours, with my own obstacles, but agree overall that it is one of my greatest accomplishments! 🎉
Still in the middle of taking my exams with working full time for over the last year and half or so. But Heaven you have been huge inspiration and help with your videos throughout my CPA and now career journey of not even knowing if public accounting was right for me initially. Just wanted to give you a huge thank you for all your advice for the last few years.
That’s so sweet to hear. Thank you so much! I’m just out here trying to figure out the career things like everybody else haha good luck with work and the exams! You’ve got this 💪🏼
I used Becker for FAR and BEC. I had initially purchased Wiley but I kept failing BEC so decided to go a different route. All study preps are great, make sure to see if your job can cover some of the study prep cost. Also, I loved Ninja bc they had a lot of questions you could just practice right before exam days. Good luck everyone, it’s deff possible!
You’re amazing Heaven!! I’m definitely gonna be binging your videos when I start studying in May… it’s my third time studying and I literally have never take a test. I need to buckle down!!
The exams are intimidating!! But once you commit to studying, get into a routine and don’t let anything mess up that routine. Stick to it and you’ll get it done! Starting anything new is the hardest part.
The comment about we are all paid the same couldn’t be more wrong. As a CPA I most definitely get paid more than others without a CPA and do the same work. My firm can bill more for a CPA than non CPA and in corporate industry there are certain positions that require a CPA so you have a ceiling if you don’t get it.
The person who asked that was saying specifically for government since we don’t have different billable rates and we all do the same job duties. But for public or industry, you’re absolutely right and it’s highly encouraged! Although in my experience at the State government level, it is highly encouraged too. But it varies from department to department and state to state due to budgetary constraints and agency needs.
My job during close is ROUGH. Multiple 15-16 hour days, and then after I get though those 4-5 days I’m mentally drained and even when studying I catch myself having to rewind and rewatch because I zone out 😭
:( having to study during busy work seasons is so hard and takes so much more discipline. But it is SO worth it if you keep pushing through and get through it!! I’m sorry :(
Amazing video Heaven. Do the 18 months begins from when you set for the 1st exam? Or once you receive your score?
Once you pass the first exam, your 18 months start! You have 18 months to pass all 4 sections.
I’m 55 and I got my accounting degree in 2022 and now I want to go for my CPA. I have real bad test anxiety. It’s holding me back to take the exam.
Don't let it hold you back. You got this!!
I have the worst test anxiety. You can totally do this! Don’t put all the pressure of the world on your shoulders. Give yourself grace, be patient with a timeline and don’t expect yourself to pass them all on the first try. You’ve got this!
Only 2 months? FAR is brutal for a wait. Jan exam gets results in June. Absolutely insane
I am now half way through still have reg and far left, i am just overwhelmed with reg because i am not a US citizen and know bth of the tax system, what do u recommend i do for reg?
Obviously Passing the CPA exams is when you study hard,if you can't study or you don't have time for your studies I'd advise you get yourself a help like Mr Dylan
People keep talking about Dylan all over
RUclips,he must be a very awesome help.
Yes you're correct but remember heaven helps those who help themselves, try studying if you can't study then get yourself a good help
I studied for months and couldn't pass, I guess passing is a blessing
CPA exam might seem so tough to pass but studying very hard is a very vital skill to win trust me.
What sounds harder to obtain...1. Masters Degree in Mathematics or, 2. Certified Public Accountant?
CPA for sure haha
Thanks for sharing
Quick question-if I pass CPA from Connecticut state in that case can I apply for job in any other state of USA?
Or is there any other exam required?
if you get licensed in Connecticut, you are only a CPA in Connecticut but you can get your license transferred to other states if you meet the other state’s requirements. It just depends on the state!

Thanks for the response.
Hello Heaven, I'm waiting for my approval to sit for the exam, and I won't start my job until August. So I have most of the Summer to study for the exam, probably beginning with FAR first, how many hours a day (Sun-Sat) should I study?
You’ll realize as you get going how many hours it will take you to study. It’s obviously different for every person, just like college haha
@@HeavensAudventure Thank you so much, I am now eligible, and now waiting for my NTS. And I have been studying for 20hrs per week now 👍🏽
Any need tips for Aud
I did a whole video about how I finally passed the audit exam! Many tips in that video
It’s now a masters degree?
The CPA exam? It’ll probably feel worse than getting a masters degree haha but I think all 50 states do require 150 credits before sitting for the exam, which is the minimum hours required for a masters degree. So basically!
Hi HeavensAudventure! Can you please tell me if there is truly a shortage in accounting (not just CPA's!)? Do you notice it where you work?
Yes. We have struggled to find good, quality candidates in the last year or so. And some of our clients have had job postings up for over a year for accountant roles they haven’t been able to fill.
@@HeavensAudventure I sent a private email to your listed email address. I did not want to make my next post public and you will see why after reading the email.
@@HeavensAudventure Are you still with the State of Tennessee government (I think that's where you said you were working?)?
