1. Prestige and Respect
CPA's have a black belt in accounting.
They are respected and admired by their peers, clients, and social circles. Through their training and experience, their virtues, ethics, and character are tested as well as their technical and academic proficiency. They have achieved a degree of expertise beyond that of a 'normal' accountant, and proudly bear three capital letters after their name as proof.
You could say that CPA stands for "Commitment, Professionalism, Achievement" just as much as it stands for Certified Public Accountant.
In short, CPA's are known for:
Professionalism
Commitment to career
Technical aptitude
Experience and expertise
Ethical responsibility
In today's professional world, these qualities are valued assets in any business. This makes the CPA a sought after commodity among all walks of professional organizations, and a trusted voice in business and financial consulting.
