PKM Helps Make Time to Study
Dave Berry- Audit Senior
As busy season gets underway, it can be especially hard for many of us to find time to study for the CPA exam. Between working 50-70 hours a week and finding time to eat, sleep and maintain a social life—who honestly has the time to study? Just about a year ago, a fellow co-worker of mine offered some great tips for studying for the CPA exam. Now, all of those tips are great, but sometimes even the best time managers in the world won’t find time to study on their own during busy season. What’s unique about PKM is that they actually factor into your schedule the time you need to study as well as sit for a practice exam! I know some folks that did not sit for the exam before going to other firms and they never found the time while they were at those firms due to the heavy work schedule. Since passing the exam is a crucial step in every CPA’s career, as well as a valuable asset to any firm, I think it is great that PKM is so proactive in helping us achieve that goal.
