About Me
Becoming a Certified Public Accountant typically takes 7–8 years. This includes earning a bachelor’s degree (4 years), gaining the required work experience (1–2 years), and preparing for and passing the CPA Exam, which may take an additional 12–18 months. The process varies based on state requirements and individual pacing, but careful planning can streamline your journey. Whether you're a recent graduate or a working professional, understanding the CPA timeline helps you stay on track toward your accounting career goals.
