The CPA--a multi-dimensional professional
The traditional role of a CPA continues to expand and includes all aspects of business from performance to growth strategy. Moreover, today's CPAs are leaders, as well as close collaborators in high-profile organizational initiatives that require skills far beyond number-crunching.
As critical members of cross-functional teams, CPAs must possess strong interpersonal and communication skills. Likewise, diplomacy and persuasion are necessary, as CPAs are frequently interpreting information and presenting it to non-financial audiences.
The CPA Exam
Passing this demanding exam is a key requirement for advancing into many areas of accounting and management. Your designation signifies honesty, objectivity, ability and financial expertise to employers and peers.
Get your CPA License
To practice as a CPA, you must obtain a CPA license in the state in which you are planning to practice. Each state has its own rules and procedures for licensure. NASBA’s Accountancy Licensing Library (ALL) is a web site containing all relevant information and application forms necessary to obtain a license in any state.
