    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.

    I just became a CPA officially on December 28, 2018! What a blessed way to start 2019. It took me the entire year and 6 months andddd I passed all on first go but FAR, had to redo but once I was done that second time I knew by the grace of God, I had it in the bag! 😎🙌🏽. If I hadn’t I would have lost some parts.

    I am so happy that I got this in my recommendations. This gave me more drive and desire to study and become a future CPA. I'm almost a 2nd year this year, my sem is about to end for 1st yr. I quitted playing video games before the 2nd sem started and I have been making more progress. I also started making exercise a habit and I have never felt so good in the change in my life!! The concepts are so hard and sometimes it doesn't get into my brain without heavy, critical thinking and sometimes I spend a day on just 1 problem but either way, I am making progress and this video helped reinforce to why I want to become a CPA so bad. What you said at the end really inspired me "If Bryan can become a CPA, anyone can too", really inspired me and made the fire inside my heart bigger. Thank you!

Gosh, this video inspires me. As I was asking for a sign to continue, to continue achieving my CPA title dream, as I’m doubting myself (right now) if being CPA is really for me, cause I admit I’m not that smart 😔, I’m really stressed right now, preparing , reviewing for the upcoming CPA Board Exam. I’m really surprise that I saw this vid. I literally wanna Cryyy 😭. Thank you so much! 💛

    Your story is a mirror image of mine... so far. Not a great high school student, crushed college, took REG first and thought I 100% failed... got a 77 too. Took BEC second and passed. Took busy season off. Took Audit in June and passed while studying before and after work . Now all I have is FAR and I take that in September. This video just me so much more motivation. Knowing how similar your story is is like a breath of fresh air. Thank you so much for sharing

Long story short, I have my Bachelors in acg, and I am in a position to give the cpa exam a shot. I’m going for it! Great video!

    In the Philippines, this is how we do it. We have 7 subjects, and we do it on 2 consecutive weekends. 2 subjects per day. On the fourth day you only do 1 subject, half day, then wait for the result, which during my time was the day after the last exam. They don’t give you the average, just the list of the passers. I just don’t know how they do it nowadays. It’s almost 10 years since that happened. Hihi!
    Sorry for giving you a long story. Lol! I just felt good sharing that since you told us your story. I think though even if the methods were different, it’s still the same result. I also didn’t know how I passed the exam. Lol!

    Hey Bryan, it was nice to meet you again at the CPP Meet the Firms back in September 2018. We also met back in April 2015 when i was interviewing for the RSM Summer leadership program. I also passed all 4 parts. I took FAR first and got a 74. While retaking FAR i found out i scored an 85 in BEC, which gave me much needed boost to continue. I passed FAR with a 78. I got a 77 in AUD and an 85 in REG. I finished the CPA exam back in June 2018. I recently started working working as a CPA Tax Auditor for the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration. As a CPA here, once you get experienced you have the ability to review other auditors work before submission and you get a $3600 bonus pay as well.

    You are a CPA, it explains the organization around you. We have the same story, I took accounting class instead being a Doctor and for the first time in my life I beat all my classmates for getting a highest grade in the class. That moment I realized I am going to be in accountant. I want to be a doctor first but because not enough money to cover those tuition I end taking classes for accounting for cheap tuition and I said to myself, i will get a accounting job to pay my medicine course but I end up finishing the master in accounting. And yes it gave adrenaline to find that penny problem in the book all the time.

    Chinese here. I was expelled due to breaking school rules( beat up a teacher)when in high school. I was a really hopeless guy in peoples mind. That was desperate experience I had in my life. I don't know where to go and what I can do. I got no plan at that moment. life was grey. Luckily my father pulled some strings to make me study in another school and I finally didn't make him disappointed. I successfully got into a prestigious university( top 5) studying politics. After graduation, however, I found my major is useless and I noticed China CICPA exam is the most difficult qualification, which is also valuable. Hence I spent three years on this exam and finally passed it in 2013. After that, I became interested in AICPA and then passed it in 2014. I also passed National Judicial exam( Bar ) in 2016. Currently I'm preparing CFA. Passing these exams, I think knowledge is interesting. It opens up my eyes and expands my horizons. In addition, these exams help me easily get a good job and promotion.

    Hi sir! I just saw this video. I'm was studying minutes ago but i stopped because i really cant understand the lessons anymore even if i had read it so many times. I decided to take a break and watch videos like my favorite local tv show and it was so weird like i dont know how this video was suggested below. I dont know you or I haven't watched a single video in your channel, i dont even know you existed here hahaha. But anyways, thank you so so so much for a million and billions times. This was so inspirational. I'm like so down rn cause i just failed my exam and i dont know how to catch up to like stay on my degree program. I'm having a hard time studying and understanding this so many lessons. But i swear i'm trying to, its just that sometimes it frustrates me just like what you've said, i put to much effort studying but i didnt pass like it wasnt enough. I really dreamt of becoming a CPA someday. I knew i can do it but now i dont think so. im starting to have doubt myself. But sir i really really thank you. I'll consider this a sign from God and you as a blessing. I'll surely keep in my mind and heart all your words and message . I hope to hear more from you. Keep inspiring people and stay healthy, god bless!

    I rarely leave a comment on any vids... but this video merits it. First off, thanks for sharing your journey Bryan. I really appreciate your honesty as well as the advice you gave on this video. You literally just took me back to my high school days with your story, you and I share a similar experience. However, I don't regret anything from that time till community college, I learnt through my mistakes and as a result it has led me to where I am today whether for good or bad. Thankfully I got my head screwed in properly in time to save my life lol, I have 1 more yr to go as an accounting undergrad & currently work for a CPA firm. I don't know if you have done like a Q&A thing but got a couple questions for you man: 1)Why did you choose Becker over Wiley or Roger etc?, 2) I'm a Tax guy, I have a general overview of audit, why did you go for audit?, 3) Tips on landing that Big 4 Role (If any), 4)Your thoughts on different Accolades, which ones do you think are most attractive for your industry or in general (IE: Audit: CIA, ISO, etc) or more general... CFA, CMA etc). Thanks so much Bryan!! You got yourself a new Sub.

      @BryanCarretoCPA  6 лет назад +1

      First off thank you for watching! Hey no worries man don;t dwell on the past and keep it moving forward! That's awesome you're almost done congrats. Ohh mann i can seriously make a video on each one of these topics (P.S i am uploading a video this week on how to land a job with a big 4 firm... so be on the lookout). I haven't done a Q & A before but now that you mention it I am going to do it. I am soooooo happy with my channel's growth and have been getting alot of questions so next week im doing a Q & A :)..... but for now just from a high level I will answer your questions the best I can.... 1)The firm I work for sponsored Becker for everyone (most of the big 4 firms have Becker as a sponsor so you get it for free when you start) 2)I went into audit because I always liked financial accounting alot more than tax and wanted a different scenery every so often (I talk alot so i thought I would fit in better too lol) 3)watch this week's video to see "How to land a job with the Big4" ;)... 4)Honestly for me it would be the CMA if any... I am a Consumer Products/Industrial Products specialist so I work with companies that manufacture and cary alot of inventory, so my day to day is very heavily involved with cost accounting.
      I hope this helps clarify this a bit... but I will do a Q&A next week to answer all of these questions. I hope its okay if I share them....
      If you find the content helpful all I ask in return is that you share it with your accounting friends :).. Thanks again!
