Doing the CPA is definitely the way to go if you want to move high up the accounting/finance ladder. I got into accounting through financial planning; my degree is in music composition, so that threw wrenches in most conventional accounting job ops. My ability to schmooze coupled with my attention to detail landed me a controller position 21 years ago (been in finance/accounting for 35 years); I've ridden this particular gravy-train right up to the pending "gold watch ceremony" in the next year or so...it's beat the hell outa' being a starving musician! ![[Image: smile.gif]](https://rooshvforum.network/images/smilies/smile.gif)
