why arent you a CPA?

What's with all the cpa threads lately

>>60748630 (OP)
Six figures in 2025 means that you make 500k/year minimum after taxes.

100k is NOT six figures.

>>60748648
sorry anon but $500k is 6.7 figures a year. $100k is exactly 6 figures a year.

>>60748658
Women think that 100k is minimum wage for men. Therefore, if you make 100k, it is the same as making minimum wage.
When women think about 'six figures', they expect their bf to make AT LEAST 500k AFTER TAXES, likely 800-900k post taxes. If you don't make that, you are a useless faggot and the world would be better without you.

>>60748658
Lmao this log argument.

>>60748675
incel loser

>>60748675
Just be good looking theory

>>60748675
okay anon that is a very good point, so i propose that we talk in terms of log base 10 * 5^(1/5). so you could say, for instance, i make 6 figures log base 10 * 5^(1/5) (approx 13.797) and that would equate to exactly $500k. i think women would appreciate this?

I just took some accounting classes for my Business Admin BS.

A free-to-use, non-dedicated model was able to answer all the questions. Its not perfect but its probably good enough.

>durr then accounting is a stupid career

Not really. There are regulations. And regulations means certs, which AI doesn't have. This might turn out to be one of those careers where you get to automate your own job yet still manage to make the same amount of money. This is exactly the type of thing I want.

>>60748798
accounting classes are nothing like the real world fyi. you'll be retarded and useless for like 2-3 years minimum.

>>60748731
We need to do a study where we ask 3000 women what they count as a six figure salary, and that should be the new objective truth.

>>60748837
Do you recommend tax or audit? Also, is WGU's accounting program any good? Also, is Ninja CPA any good for CPA prep?

>>60748903
depends on what you want to do. i hear good things about wgu, much cheaper than regular scam college. ninja is good i used it.

>>60748918
What do you personally do? Is it true that audit is better for entering corporate, whilst tax is better if you want to eventually open up your own practice?

>>60748924
statutory reporting manager at a big jewish insurance company. yes thats pretty accurate.

>>60748929
I see...how hard is opening up your own practice? I imagine CPAs are pretty profitable since everyone needs a tax guy.

>>60748630 (OP)
My gf is a CPA and I don't respect her. Seems comfy though

>>60748962
Is public accounting really hell on earth?

>>60748941
i think tax cpas can make $200k+ but they work hard from like jan to april.

>>60748966
She's says her college classes were way harder than anything irl and she makes 130k wfh but can go in when she needs to. To get money like >>60748984 you need your own clients or even your own business. You normally work a bunch of overtime during tax season but have a lot of time off for the rest of the year. Just don't plan trips or anything big during tax season

>>60749059
Does she work in public accounting?

>>60749084
Yes but it's not under her own company

>>60748675

It seems the word SIMP is missing from this thread.

I’m a CPA and wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. Terrible pay relative to the hours worked. Firms and companies just want to outsource everything to “centers of excellence” now too. AI impact remains to be seen. It’s good for writing macros and coming up with power query ideas so far. I’m sure future models will disrupt the field. What’s with all these accounting threads, anyway?

>>60749188
>"centers of excellence"
i hate this. we have domestic COEs which are good and then we have turdskin centers of streetshitting.

Higher level office worker drone
Better than most average jobs
Soul sucking
Not a bad choice necessarily. Just not something to actively aspire to.

>>60748630 (OP)
we had this thread already. not immune to AI.

>>60749249
>not immune to AI
This applies to every single white collar job though...might as well try and hope for the best.

I take it you haven't heard about that testing center they opened in the Philippines? Fun fact, many states don't require you to be a U.S. citizen to be a CPA.
