How Matt Passed the CPA Exams in 5 Months with No Accounting Experience


Listen Later

In this episode of the CPA Exam Experience Podcast, you'll hear how Matt was able to pass the CPA exams in just 5 months with no accounting experience, at the age of 52. Matt had been a finance major in school and worked as a commodity broker for 20 years before deciding to get the CPA. He felt totally lost at first, but started implementing the SuperfastCPA strategies and, as you'll see, got results.

You'll hear how Matt focused on multiple choice questions to learn the material. He also mentioned multiple times that all he did was follow the SuperfastCPA process and it was as simple as that. Again, he passed with essentially no accounting experience, so pay attention to his tips so you can pass the exams too!
