What's the use of AICPA exam?

In many people's cognition, textual research is to improve their social status and have more opportunities in future career choices. Just like AICPA, because it has the right to audit and sign in the United States, it is the top certificate in the world accounting field. Four subjects can be passed in three months at the earliest, with little investment and quick results, which makes countless accountants crazy.

But behind the so-called "halo effect", what kind of employment prospects can AICPA obtain, and what are the most suitable positions for AICPA licensees? How much do you know?

1, accounting

As a relatively basic financial position in enterprises, accounting major is often favored by inexperienced freshmen. In recent years, more and more domestic enterprises seek to go public in the United States, and they need more financial personnel who are familiar with international accounting standards. Therefore, AICPA holders are given priority in recruitment requirements. Previously, in an accounting recruitment notice of Tuniu Network Company, it was clearly marked that the position enjoyed a generous annual salary of12-15,000 yuan, but only if it was qualified for AICPA.

2. Audit

Many accountants prefer to start with accounting firms. Take the four major accounting firms-PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), Deloitte (DTT), KPMG and Ernst & Young (EY) as examples. Basically, having an AICPA is equivalent to stepping into the Big Four.

Statistics on the Internet show that 70% employees of American accounting firms are eligible to apply for AICPA. "Everyone around you is AICPA, how dare you not?" A Lixin student who got four big offer in the United States and returned to China to sprint AICPA during the summer vacation said.

The audit position in the firm is like tailor-made for AICPA holders. For example, AUD audit of AICPA is a good subject to assess and train talents for this position.

3. Tax Manager

The tax manager in the enterprise is mainly responsible for supervising the tax return, making relevant plans, ensuring the integrity and accuracy of the tax return, and avoiding some unnecessary tax expenditures of the enterprise. This position often requires a high degree of specialization, especially in foreign companies, and requires tax managers to have a good grasp of relevant international tax laws and have 5 years or more relevant work experience. For AICPA candidates who need to make a detailed tax assessment, the knowledge in the preparatory stage will provide them with more opportunities for future employment.

4. Financial analysts

BEC subjects of AICPA mainly involve financial analysis and enterprise financial management. Invisibly, it has trained many accounting compound talents at the operational level for enterprises.

And these are exactly what financial analysts in enterprises need. When an enterprise seeks to expand, financial analysts can prepare a budget for the enterprise, predict its business prospects, and determine how to achieve more profits, which often plays a decisive role in the company.

5.AICPA lecturer

Many AICPA holders who have returned to China for development have this feeling. An AICPA does play a very good role as a stepping stone, but there are few places where domestic financial positions need to be spoken in English. It is not easy to find a financial position where you can practice your spoken English and consolidate your professional knowledge.

Yang Feifei, an AICPA holder, encountered this problem when 17 was studying in the United States. Now, she has found a job that conforms to her values and works as a lecturer. "I can help more people with my own learning methods, and this sense of accomplishment is priceless," Yang Feifei said of her current job.

For AICPA licensees, it is a good choice to be a lecturer in some universities or training institutions if they want to seek the simultaneous consolidation and development of English and majors after returning home.

Of course, for accountants, there are more than just these choices. After getting AICPA, you can further specialize your accounting skills, enhance your market value, and seek more development in financial legal affairs, personal finance and other fields.

As an AICPA holder, no matter what your future career choice is, one thing is certain, that is, your salary. Even if you are a novice with far less experience, you can have a good starting salary. Financial personnel without certificates are comparable to drivers without driver's licenses. You need to make proper investment for yourself and gain more recognition from others, so as to win your new career opportunities.
