I am a CFP, WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO TO BECOME A CPA?

I need help any input will be greatly appreciated .

Studying to be CPA right now (studying sucks btw, so does accounting). It depends on the state you plan to certify in. Most have different requirements. Generally, 150 university credits are required (in some states 120). Some obviously have to be related to accounting.
You need work experience. Some states require at least 2 years of audit related experience (like New York), while others require 1 year of any experience related to finance (like New Jersey). This is why I'm getting my CPA in NJ.

You must pass an exam and meet certain work-experience requirements. For more information go to the following website, where you should find everything you need:

Some states will let you go with a certain number of college level accounting courses. Indiana requires an undergraduate business degree. It varies a lot.

Every state requires the core undergraduate accounting courses.


You'll need to take acct 1, acct 2, cost acct, tax acct, auditing, intermediate acct, and advanced acct at the very least.


To actually pass the exam, you'll probably need to take a good review course too.

One school in my area actually offers a summertime CPA program. Santa Clara University in the Silicon Valley (Great School) offers a program specifically for people in your situation. It's called the intensive program or something.
