I'm 37 years old, happily married with two young children. After six years in bookkeeping, I transitioned to a CPA firm in January 2023. I passed all four parts of the FAR exam on my first attempt by November 2022. Today, my CPA license application got approved, just a week after submission. Stay determined, you're capable of achieving your goals!
Yes, remember to take breaks when tired. Keep MCQs on your phone for practice. Don't dwell on mistakes during exams—just keep going. Find a study buddy for accountability. Know when to take a break to avoid burnout.
As a mom of young kids, I get how tough it can be to balance work and family. I recently left my job to spend more time with my little ones, but I still want to grow professionally, just like you. I'm thinking of getting into bookkeeping while working towards becoming a CPA. It seems like a good fit for my schedule and career goals. Let's support each other on this journey. With determination and the right plan, we can make it work!
That's really thrilling! I have a 7-year-old and am 32. I've been studying since January for my second test, and I have a busy schedule, so maybe by the end of the year, I'll be able to submit something similar! Congratulations!
Your encouragement means a lot! I struggle to find time to study for FAR and AUD while having a full-time job in PA and my family's needs. One more level of difficulty comes with being married and having kids. But seeing your success gives me hope that I can achieve it too. Congratulations on your accomplishment!
