How much math do you need to know to be good at accounting? What is the difference between a CPA and an accountant? Are tax laws complicated? Today’s guest has all the answers! In this episode, we talk to Mr. Virgil Smith. He has been a certified public accountant for about 45 years. He worked for the California Franchise Tax Board for eight years before he started his own CPA firm called Virgil Smith CPA in Davis, California, where he continues to work today. Tuning in you’ll hear all about what a CPA is, why Mr. Smith wanted to become one, and what inspired him to start his own firm. He explains what a typical work day looks like for him, why he needs to have continued training, and how the rapport he has with his clients is his favorite thing about the job. Tuning in you’ll learn all about how complicated tax laws are, what the tax season is, and whether or not owning your own CPA business is better than working for a big organization. If you’re as pumped as I am to learn more about accounting, tune in today!
