Hey all!

I am just starting my journey to becoming a CPA. I am only on the application process and have already come across a bump in the road! (not a good sign I suppose lol) I was wondering if anyone else had trouble recalling their last 10 years of employment (mainly specific start and end dates)? Do you think exact dates are necessary? I am only 26, but have held my fair share of summer jobs. Any advice (aside from keeping an updated resume in the future lol)? Thanks!

Not only do they not need exact dates, I am sure they are not concerned with your summer jobs at all. Don't worry about it.

Thanks Mike! That's what I figured. I'm sure it's mainly to verify accounting experience hours, but I just wanted to make sure it was as complete as possible.

Yeah you will be fine. I mean in the past 10 years I am sure I had jobs pumping gas/bagging groceries/giving out hand jibbers at highway off-ramps, but they don't really need that information for you to sit for the CPA exam.
