Question:

What is the difference between a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and an Accountant?

Answer:

All CPAs are Accountants, but not all Accountants are CPAs. Both professionals are responsible for keeping and interpreting financial records.

To become a CPA, there are educational and experience requirements that must be filled, and an exam that needs to be passed.

The CPA certification distinguishes you from other professionals, which leads to more business opportunities and greater financial potential.
