TIPS HOW TO BECOME CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT

HOW TO BECOME A CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNT 

Certified public accountants (CPAs) advise clients regarding tax and financial matters. They may also perform internal and external audits to ensure companies are following the guidelines for financial reporting. Prior to becoming certified, individuals first become accountants, which requires a minimum of a bachelor's degree in finance or accounting

Let's look at what steps you will take to become a CPA.

Step 1: Complete a Degree Program in Accounting

Most states require aspiring CPAs to complete at least 150 semester hours of study to become licensed. Students generally accrue 120 hours via a traditional bachelor's degree program. To earn the required 150 hours, some schools offer the option of a combined 5-year bachelor's and master's degree program in accounting. Coursework generally begins with fundamental topics in accounting theory and advances to cover more complex topics like cost accounting.

Step 2: Consider Graduate Degree Options

Next, consider completing a graduate degree program. A graduate degree is usually not required to become a CPA, but for students who have only completed a traditional 4-year bachelor's degree program, it may help them meet credit hour requirements to become a CPA. Options include a Master of Science in Accounting, Master of Arts in Accounting or Master of Business Administration (MBA) with a specialization in accounting. Although coursework varies depending on the chosen program, most curricula cover advanced topics from tax planning to financial controls.

Step 3: Enter the Workforce

The next step is to begin working in the field. Prior to taking the certification examinations, state boards typically require accountants to complete at least two years of work experience. Aspiring CPAs may find work with public and private accounting firms or in an accounting department of any type of company. Duties may range from verifying financial documents to preparing tax returns and may include implementing financial measures to reduce mismanagement of products and services.

Step 4: Take the Exams

Once education and work experience requirements are met, step four is to take the certification exams. The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) has developed four exams that must be successfully completed in order to earn the CPA designation. The exams test candidates on accounting aspects like attestation and financial reporting.

Upon completing the first exam, candidates must complete the rest within 18 months. Those who pass all exams within the allotted time earn their license and become CPAs.

Step 5: Continue Education

Your final step is to participate in continuing education. In order to stay current with laws and practices, most states mandate CPAs to renew their licenses. CPAs may meet renewal requirements by completing continuing education coursework. Some states may require CPAs to include ethics courses as part of their continuing education.

To become a certified public accountant, you must complete 150 hours in a degree in accounting, gain practical experience, complete all four exams, and participate in continuing education to keep your license valid.

TIPS HOW TO BECOME BUSINESS MANAGER

HOW TO BECOME A SUCCESFUL BUSINESS MANAGER 

                           

                                               

              

                                                                         .

                                                                                                            Believe in yourself                

The fundamental key to success in business is self belief and women are naturally known for underestimating their abilities. To succeed in business, you must believe in yourself. This is very important because no one will believe in you and your product or services if you don’t first believe in yourself. No investor will invest with you if you lack self confidence and your employees will not perform at peak capacity because you lack the spirit to inspire them

  






                                                                                                           Have a strong mission

Why do you want to start a business? This question may sound casual but it a silent factor that determines whether you will succeed or fail as an entrepreneur. Take a look at the world’s most successful women entrepreneurs and you will see that they all have a strong reason for going into business and that reason became their business mission.

   

                  PREPARE YOUR MIND SET

    Success in business is highly dependent on the mindset on which that business was started.     To become a success woman entrepreneur, you must have the right mindset. You must never look      at yourself as being a weaker sex. You must have the mindset to deal with whatever comes your    way. Success will never be handed to you on a platter of gold just because you are a woman. You must stick your neck out for it even if it means putting yourself on the line.                                

          

                                                          Start a business

Yes, this is actually the thin line that separates’ the great women of enterprise from every other women. Most women dream of being the next Oprah Winfrey, Mary Kay or Coco Chanel but only few will ever dare to take the first step. You can never be a successful woman entrepreneur by just day dreaming, you need to go out there and start something.

     

          

                                                                                           


INCREASE YOUR BUSINESS SKILLS 

Some entrepreneurs were born great; others made themselves great through hard work. If a business empire wasn’t handed over to you by your family; then you have to make yours and to achieve that, you will need to develop the required entrepreneurial skills. 

                                                       

    One of the major business challenges women entrepreneurs face is time constraint.Business women are usually strapped for time because of the multiple responsibilities they face. Women     entrepreneurs must attend to their business needs while still raising a family and taking care of their personal needs. I mean it’s  quite challenging. If you are ever going to overcomthis
challenge and become a successful business
                                                                                   woman, then you must master the act of                                                                                                                                 delegation.

                      TAKE CARE OF YOUR                                          CUSTOMERS  

  I believe women take care of their
customers more than their male counterparts.
Remember that your customers are the reason you are in business. No woman ever became successful in business without the loyalty of her customers. So never look down on your customers.
