Q. What do I have to do to get into university to be an accountant ? what requirement do I need? how about the average ? and which university can I go for it ? can someone help me plz. thanx

A. If you want to be a CPA then check your state's requirements. If you want to be just an accountant or work in accounts receivable or accounts payable, then a degree in accounting, finance, or business should do the trick. You should be able to attend school online or in a regular classroom setting for accounting. You may also want to learn accounting software. Some programs you may want to learn are Quickbooks, Quicken, Peachtree, and Excel.

Q. I want to become an accountant for sure. I'm researching, and I see that there are several different types of accountants. Tax, audit and enterprise risk, financial advisory, internal, and consulting. Out of these, which one is the most lucrative, interesting, and most fulfilling overall. Why?

A. Forensic Accounting is the most 'interesting type of accounting' possibly the most.. unexpected and out of the ordinary. however some people may like tax/audit/financial etc.. but i think for the most part those types of accounting are pretty... 'boring'. to become an accountant you need a CPA (in America or a CA in Canada) which requires you to have an undergraduate degree with certian courses. My suggestion is to start taking the undergraduate introduction to accounting courses to get a taste of the types of accounting before you choose what to specialize in.

Q. We are applying for a grant and need an accountant to sign a statement going over our net worth. We never had enough money to need an accountant before, and we need one who isn't too expensive, and who isn't too busy with taxes. The form needs to be submitted ASAP.

A. You could try the link below, which is to the Michigan Association of Certified Public Accountants. You can enter some basic information, and it will find a CPA in your area that you can contact. Next best would be to see if you can get a recommendation from a friend. Barring those, your best bet is going to be to look in the Yellow Pages under Accountants, and choose one. Best of luck!!

Q. I am a single male. I have one income from a job in Oklahoma and have also made revenue using Google Adsense. I also have a Mortgage. Is it smarter for me to use turbotax or hire an accountant?

A. My advice is always in favor of an actual CPA. They know about deductions that you may never have heard of. TurboTax and other software are only as good or as thorough as the user.

Q. I have a bachelor's degree in Journalism and I have been working at a large bank in the fraud/risk department for 4 years. I am really interested in becoming a forensic accountant, and I would like to know what steps do I need to take to become a qualified forensic accountant, and can I use my experience in the fraud department as a Risk Analyst towards becoming a forensic accountant? Thanks in advance.

A. First you need your designation in accounting. in Canada its a CA in the States is a CPA. This can take as little as a couple years if you already have a university business program under your belt. you must pass the CA/CPA exams and complete a designated number of auditing/tax/general hours in a accredited accouting firm. than you can take the forensic accouting exam. when you pass this you must complete another designated amount of hours in the field. yes, its long. but that's why in Canada they START at about $100,000 (and thats a conservative number).
