Gleim.

Only you will know the answer to that question at that time.
>(4)Is it expensive to open up my own CPA firm?
Depends on what you want to do. You could do it out of the trunk of
your car, or Beverly Hills.
>(5)What type of services will I be providing to clients?
Most CPAs these days can be descriped as certified public bookkeepers,
other than the ones who have gone into cross selling.
If your out of U.S.C. you should know about a hundred cpa's on a first
name basis and they can tell you exactly what they are doing to make a
buck.
>(6)How will I get clients?
Since your out of U.S.C. you probably know the 300 men of business by
now that you will get your referals from.
U.S.C. is such a damn fine school, with fantastic alumni support, I am
supprised that you have not been aggressively recruited by evey
business down in the basin. Comming from a state college that has
always been ignored by recruiters and held in distain by H.R.
departments I admire your position.
