Do I have to choose a career within either audit or tax?

As a CPA, you do not have to choose a career in either audit or tax. There are a wide variety of career options available. You can choose a career working in diverse areas such as:

• Financial accounting and reporting
• Management accounting
• Financial analysis
• Treasury/cash management

CPAs can also provide services in specialized areas of accounting like financial forensics, business valuation, personal financial planning, and IT consulting. Within government, you can create a path to success at either the federal, state or local level. Non-profit organizations and education also offer many diverse opportunities.
