As many of you know, I returned to school in March 2025 for one final career. I decided that I would become a forensic accountant. I am currently enrolled in a special certificate program that is only for students who already have a Bachelor’s degree (or higher) NOT in accounting and need the accounting classes to take the CPA exam.
I have been doing very well so far! I’ve taken Financial Accounting, Managerial Accounting, Business and Professional Ethics, Intermediate Accounting 1, Intermediate Accounting 2, Principles of Marketing, and Business Law 2. As the summer semester has just finished, I only have five classes left for my certificate!
Next semester, in the fall semester, I am enrolled in Tax Accounting and Auditing, and then I’m down to the last three classes for my certificate! I’m planning on taking Advanced Tax Accounting in spring 2027, Small Business Accounting in summer 2027, and then Advanced Accounting in fall 2027. Then, in 2028, I will start taking the sections of the CPA exam!
This has been a very fascinating journey so far. And I’m not even close to being finished yet!
