Sorry, but CPAs are not entrepreneurs, even if they own their business. The raison d’être for accounting is regulations. There would not be one CPA without the IRS—they would be bookkeepers.

Entrepreneurs are rule breakers and risk takers; the polar opposite of college. You go to college to learn how things are done in a conventional manner. You become an entrepreneur to prove you can do it against the odds and against convention.

Whatever. That’s not responsive to what I said. My comment was in response to the notion that accountants simply need a course. Moreover, CPA’s do way more than taxes. In fact, the tax department is far and away the smallest part of the major firms.

I’m both a CPA and an attorney, but I stopped practicing years ago because I am a born risk taker, so I’m a businessman. I was entrepreneurial as a teen, so maybe it’s just my nature. I’m thankful for my education and professional experience, it served me well, but I like building businesses.
