To become a certified public accountant (CPA), you must complete an accredited college program and pass the CPA exam. You may also need to take additional courses such as business law, financial accounting, taxation, auditing, or consulting. Depending on your state’s requirements, you may have to meet certain experience requirements in order to sit for the exam. Once you have completed all of these steps, you will be eligible to apply for certification from the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA).
