First of all, as someone who worked in corporate accounting for many years for a publicly traded firm, external auditors do no simply fill out forms. Ive worked closely with auditors including auditors from Ernst & Young and thats not what they do.
Next if you had, while working for a firm like Ernst & Ernst, now Ernst & Young, the ability to hire other people to do the work that you didnt want to do, found boring, having a CPA or CMA, CIA wouldnt cut it, to rise to that sort of level in that sort of firm, an MBA at minimum would be required.
Tax Law Professor Really? Where? When? At what law school?
A mere CPA does not have the credentials or experience necessary to be a professor of tax law. You may have taught accounting and even an introductionary course at a collage or a community college as a teacher, but a tax law professor without a law degree? FWIW, my nephews mother teaches Accounting at a state college in PA but she has a Ph.D. and a JD/Masters of Taxation. Being a professor is a full time position, not something someone does on the side.
Changed hats midstream, returned to the university as a student to study psychology and then neuroscience. I have found studying the human brain and consciousness much more intellectually stimulating than tax law!
At what university and what degrees in those areas did you obtain? What was your thesis on?
I still retain the CPA license just to help out friends.
God help them. If you help them anything like you try to help in psychology and pseudoscience woo, they are in big trouble.
