Hi! I am new here and I am looking for some advice. I received my undergrad in Marketing and turned interested into the accounting field after working for the IRS for 5 years. I went back to school and took additional accounting courses and now I am eligible to sit for the exams.
This has been a long time coming and I am ready to tackle this head on.
Only problem is making time while having a family. I have twins under 1 and a 4 year old!!! For the people who have a family, how do you all do it?! I don’t know if there will ever be a great time for me to study with 3 kids but I think right now is ideal because I am staying at home for the next couple of years instead of working. Add that to the fact that I live away from family so it is only me and my husband, no family around to help.
In addition, I have been trying to decide on which CPA Review program to go with. I initially was set on Becker but then thought Yaeger would be good for me due to the learning style. Any advice on any of them? CPAExcel, Roger too? I think I need more than just a review because I have definitely forgotten some things from Intermediate/Advanced Accounting.
For people who have families how much time did you give each exam? I truly don’t want to do FAR 1st even though I hear that you should. I almost feel like I need to do an easier one, or maybe REG from my IRS experience, just to give me a boost of confidence. Has anyone did it this way? Any feedback anyone can give me would be great.
