I have been doing accounting for over I want to say 25 to 27 years and I am just now learning that FP&A pays more than accounting and I started a new job somewhere else after 16 years at a company, this gives me the opportunity to reinvent myself. Thank you for your advice

This is my current goal. Currently working in accounting in a large energy company. Definitely, want to make the switch to finance, which is a reason why I'm getting my CPA license even though I'm in industry.

If you’re wanting to move into Finance from Accounting I’d recommend the CFA program over the CPA

[johnnyventura]

I am in finance. Never understood why more accountants dont move to finance. Its like the million dollar question. Thats like the most valuable type of finance person

[peterbradshaw]

Would you recommend someone who currently studies Finance but is also an Introvert to work later on as an FP&A?

[vladba]

Hi, I really appreciate your videos. I’m stuck doing AP and AR in a company where there is no place for growth and learn new things. I’ve been looking for a job and it’s been months and can’t get anything. What would you advice me to do? Get a certification? Change career? Study something different? I don’t have experience in Accounting firm nor CPA requirements. Thank you

[nolisanchez]

Hi, Thank you so much for this informative video, it is extremely helpful. Just wanna know your opinion. Do you think it is possible for me to pass the CPA exam despite still being in college? I am eligible to take my exam for my state and so far I have taken Intermediate Accounting I and II. Just want to know if the CPA review materials assumes no background knowledge and will be enough for me to prepare for the exam.
Thanks and I appreciate your videos
