My original intention, when I went back to school full-time as a MS graduate student in 2007, was to graduate, work for a CPA firm for two years, and become a CPA.

However, life has been throwing me a lot of curve balls ever since I was a child. It did not help me that the economy fell apart in 2007 when I started my MS degree.

In 2010, my health was significantly affected and I had to deal with my medical condition for months.

Due to the type of medical condition I have, it would be in my best interest not to become a CPA. Since I plan to focus on taxes, I would much rather become an Enrolled Agent.

As soon as my business generates revenue, I plan to contribute money to FR.

Hello,

I need to clarify my educational and work background.

I have a BBA in Information Systems, a MBA in Financial Management, and a MS in Accounting.

I worked for over 3 years as a computer programmer. I worked for a year and a half as a client service financial analyst.

I worked for 8 or 9 months for a small consulting firm. It was understood when I took that job that it would be temporary. As soon as the consulting engagement finished, I was laid off by the owner of the consulting firm.

Between September 2009 and December 2009, I was a volunteer accountant at a hospital and I was supervised by my father. My father is a CPA.

Between January 4, 2010, and April 1, 2010, I was an audit intern at Deloitte & Touche.

I am now planning to become an Enrolled Agent.

I do not need another degree to run my business. Until I turn my company into a LLC, I refuse to search for clients. I want the full legal protection of a LLC before I attempt to obtain clients. Without clients, I am not generating any revenue. Therefore, I must obtain start-up money.
