How to Become an Accountant
Anyone who oversees a financial account, such as an LLC’s bank account, can call themselves an accountant. Anyone wanting to go into accounting professionally should be legally qualified as a CPA (certified public accountant). CPAs need to meet their state’s minimum requirements which include passing the CPA exam, keeping up with yearly continuing education, and having a degree in accounting. By becoming a CPA, you’ll have the know-how to serve all three classes of accounting – business accounting, personal accounting, and being a tax accountant.
