I graduated with a bachelor of managerial economics 6 years ago. My undergraduate college UC Davis did not offer an accounting major. After graduation, I took many accounting classes at community colleges to qualify for the CPA exam. I starting working after completing the accounting unit requirements. However, my jobs up to today have nothing to do with accounting at all. My first job was property management, and my current job is financial service analyst (ie. travel reimbursement) for UC Berkeley. I took BEC in 2012 and failed (used WileyCPA), and I didn’t continue studying after the failure. Since I already completed the education requirement to sit for the exam, I would like to start studying seriously again.
I don’t really want to work in public accounting, but would like to work internally in the private sector or government.
Would I be able to find an accounting job (ie, accountant, financial analyst, accountant associate, tax analyst) even if I pass all 4 parts of CPA exam? I’m concerned about my lack of real accounting experience and age on finding employment.
Thank you for reading the long post and any sage advice/feedback are greatly appreciated!
