Do you need help preparing your taxes? Do you want to plan for retirement, but aren’t quite sure where to start? A personal CPA can help you with these tasks and many more related to your personal finances—find out all you need to know in this month’s post.

Ÿ What is a CPA (Certified Public Accountant)?

All CPAs are accountants—but not all accountants are CPAs (AICPA). To earn CPA licensure, a certified public accountant must complete a high level of accounting education, gain experience in public accounting, and pass their state-regulated Uniform CPA exam. Once an accountant has met these stringent requirements, he or she can practice accounting for all sorts of clients including non-profits, government agencies, privately owned companies and individuals.
