So I’ve received an interview for an entry level position at a small CPA firm (basic requirement was an associates in accounting, and as such the compensation matches that). I don’t mind the low starting salary, my concern is that I don’t want to mention that I have finished the CPA exams least I get disqualified (ironic). Is it wrong to omit this info?

I recently had an interview for entry level staff accountant as well. It's a small family like business(6 people?) and they seem so nice 🙂

i was offered 35k with benefit

It's 40 min drive from my house in northern New Jersey.

35k starting is a low side compared to my other colleague who never even sit for exams (and i have passed them all)

And considering my experience, i thought i would get lil above that. I have worked one year in a small cpa firm before.

But i've been waiting about a month and it is hard to find job in a public accounting firm. And i graduated lesser known school with 3.2 gpa. Public school in nj but not much recruitment benefits.

I'll take 35k now and show them what i can do.

And.. We'll see next year how the company appreciate my hard work, and how much they would raise my salary.
