I am starting a new series within this site called My CPA Exam Story. People who read this site know what I went through…the ups and downs of the CPA Exam and trying to balance work and family life and trying to maintain some semblance of adequate mental health.

I know that there are people out there who are either where I was a year ago (2 exams passed and on the verge of losing one of them and struggling to see the light at the end of the tunnel), or are where I am right now having passed the exam and with hindsight being 20/20, have a perspective or experience that others could benefit from.

So ~ I’ll extend the invitation to anyone wanting to share their story. Write it up via Word Document (or just e-mail it)…submit a picture (if you want…if not, that’s ok too…pictures help to visualize the person…) and I’ll proof-read it and post it as a regular post on the blog.

Do you have a CPA Exam story to tell that would benefit others? Did you breeze through it and have some tips? Did you struggle (or are struggling), but made progress? Are you finished with the exam and want to tell others that it’s worth it? Or – are you a spouse who stood by your loved one throughout the process and want to give hope to other spouses who are sacrificing just as much as the one taking the exam?

It doesn’t matter if you’ve finished the exam, or are still neck-deep in it, whatever your story is, e-mail it to me at another71cpa@gmail.com

Depending on how many submissions I get, I’ll post them once or twice a week.

As always thanks for reading.
