In short, I have an accounting degree with work experience in finance/accounting and plan on becoming a CPA. I am getting an MBA from a top 25 school with a concentration in corporate finance and was considering adding an additional concentration in tax. Assuming I pass the CPA exam and become licensed, do you think that sitting through hours and hours of tax courses is even worth it?

BEC- 86
AUD- 96
REG- 83
FAR- soon hopefully

Are you thinking to take those tax classes so that it would help you pass the CPA exam (REG section)? If so, I wouldn't bother taking them…I pretty much learned everything about tax from Becker.

Depends on your career goals. I have a Master of Taxation and with the program at my school I am prepared to work in either Audit or Tax. (Obviously I would prefer tax). I think additional tax knowledge gives you an edge but if you're just planning to stay with your current employer you probably don't need that.
