All Certified Public Accountants are accountants, but not all accountants are CPAs. An accountant is any person who keeps/interprets financial records. CPAs are not limited to one industry, or even one job function. In addition to keeping and interpreting financial records, CPAs are able to perform other services as a result of the knowledge gained in exam preparation and continuing professional education (CPE) requirements. Unlike accountants, CPAs require much more education, extensive knowledge, and rigorous testing. Acquiring your certified public accountant license takes time, patience and planning. Being a CPA also takes a commitment to continuing education even after earning your CPA designation. CPAs are often required to complete 40 hrs of continuing professional education (CPE) each year, depending on state board requirements. Due to the difficulty of passing the CPA Exam, many accounting fields consider the CPA license one of the most prestigious.

CPAs work in many different industries. Some companies hire CPAs to help with business reporting, tax service, payroll, bookkeeping, and financial planning. There are many other ways a CPA can help businesses, they act as consultants to help companies plan for growth and development. They can also advise clients on how to manage risk and protect assets. Finally, CPAs often serve as advisors to CEOs and senior management teams.

Certified Public Accountant (CPA) is an accounting professional who has met state licensing requirements to earn the CPA designation through educational training, experience and passing the CPA exam. The CPA is not a career path or job title, but a professional designation that can allow accounting professionals more flexibility and mobility in their career. They are sought out for their reliability, industry knowledge, and credentials.
